    Sanctuary of Our Lady of Peneda, located in northern Portugal:
    It is located in the parish of Gavieira, municipality of Arcos de Valdevez, within the Peneda-Gerês National Park, about 150 km from Porto. [pt.wikipedia.org], [danielasan...araujo.com]
    It is built over a cave beneath a granite massif known as Penedo da Meadinha, in a spectacular location bordering a deep valley.

    I would not have expected such a magnificent pilgrimage church in the small town. Definitely worth a visit!
