October 22, 2024,🇵🇹 Elevator zur Basilica ausgefallen…

At first we couldn't find the elevator 🛗 because there was a construction site and the diversion information was a bit lacking. We could have saved ourselves that trouble because the thing was out of order. Anyway, we went up to the Basilica on foot. Wonderful view. It's definitely worth it.
