High up in Alvarenga, the Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Mount offers a peaceful retreat, with a picnic area and stunning views of the region.
Every September 8, devotion takes over the place for the festival in honor of Our Lady of the Mount. The sanctuary is easily accessible, and can even be reached by car.
At the top of Alvarenga, the Chapel of Our Lady of the Mountain rests in silence, surrounded by a picnic area and a breathtaking view.
On the 8th of September, this serene corner comes to life with the pilgrimage in honour of the patron saint, when faith and celebration come together. It is easy to get there, even by car, but if you go running, it is a different experience: the terrain invites you to take a light step, and the landscape takes care of the rest.
