Our Favorite Pilgrimage Destination

Lourdes, France

We are so blessed to live in Spain and only a 5-hour drive to Lourdes, France (but because we are traveling with kids, we make several stops than usual, so, it’s about a 7 to 8-hour drive for us).

We try our best to visit Lourdes at least once a year, and it’s always a special and grace-filled experience for our family.
