Travel Trivia:
Interestingly, given its now super strong links to the Catholic Church, name Fátima itself originates from a Moorish girl’s name. Legend tells us that in the eleven hundreds, a girl of that name converted to Catholicism in this region and her name was transferred to the village.
Santuário de Fátima
The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fátima (Santuário de Fátima) is one of the world’s largest Catholic pilgrimage sites, attracting between 4 and 5 million visitors every year. Here, between 13th May and 13th October 1917, three shepherd children are believed to have witnessed six apparitions of the Virgin Mary, who imparted various messages and predictions about the future. During the last of these apparitions it is said that around 50,000 observers witnessed the sun moving around in the sky in a way which defied the laws of cosmology.
7:30 Dinner at Tia Alice Restaurant
Alice Marto, with her children and husband opened the Tia Alice restaurant in 1988, already at the age of 53.
All his culinary knowledge has been made over the years within his own family.
The kitchen was his world; he read recipes, studied them, tried again and again and without haste. Her only desire was to reach the single point of flavor she was looking for.
I was never satisfied, I always wanted to go further…
The truth is that the whole family was delighted with those memorable palates!
That’s how the idea of making a restaurant with traditional Portuguese cuisine came up.
