Activities: We went to the Santuario do Sacrado Coracao de Jesus Monte de Santa Luzia, a basilica perched above Viana Do Castelo. Lucie, who sees her name everywhere, was jumping around. We explained that the sanctuary bears her name and that Saint Lucie is represented there. We walked around the gardens and went geocaching
Highlights: Lucie thought it was her birthday! The gardens were great for walks and geocaching. We also enjoyed the panoramic views from the terraces of the sanctuary ✨
