We would like to invite you to join us on a very special tour of Portugal and Northern Spain. For many seasoned international travelers, Spain has been a favorite destination for a very long time. Portugal is a relative newcomer, but it has taken the tourist market by storm. Spectacular landscapes, beaches, museums, outstanding cuisine, and an exquisitely rich history make the Iberian Peninsula a favorite spot for millions of vacationers. All of that is true, and it is even likely that personal experience does not fully relate to the wholesome experience of the place. However, one very important aspect is often overlooked: Christian history is remarkable there.
To most, Christianity of the general area is associated with the Catholic monarchs of later-mighty Spain, fanciful, yet cold, and at times, even cruel. But both Spain and Portugal contain some of the earliest Christian sites, which date back to the very first centuries of the Christian mission around the Mediterranean. The Iberian Peninsula is filled with numerous sites associated with many early Christian sites and important shrines. The cities that we will visit were once places of important Christian council held in defense of the Orthodoxy, and many at the time had witnessed the martyric death of our co-religionists; the northern Kingdoms remained unconquered keepers of the Christian Faith and the keepers of one of the most important routes of all Christendom, that of the Road of St. James. Join Archbishop Daniel and our group on this discovery of history, culture, and Faith.
