Cabo Girão
One evening we heard ecclesiastical music being broadcast over loudspeakers and we saw candles moving through the woods recalling the Ave Maria sequence in Disney's Fantasia. Roger followed the sound and it led him to the summit of the Cabo Girão promontory where stands the Capela de Nossa Senhora de Fátima (babel fish version). It was crowded with people taking part in a Peregrinação ao Santuário de Nossa Senhora de Fátima (babel fish on the pilgrimage and local copy).

Health and Safety may not have visited the sugar cane factory but they have seen to it that live candles are forbidden within Portuguese churches. This outside stand is for burning candles

A small room stands near the chapel. I believe it is the original 1931 chapel. Inside is this curious collection of wax (?) heads.
