The beautiful pilgrimage church on the banks of the rushing Gave de Pau.

The border of Spain and France called a sky-high mountains, the Pyrenees that is with all its natural beauty still far too little known and it would be even less if in him not the Sanctuary of Lourdes would be to the yearly more than 100,000 pilgrims from all over the earth flow. Our picture shows in the majestic mountain landscape, the beautiful pilgrimage church on the banks of the rushing Gave de Pau. While we think of the Pyrenees, Lourdes and its miracles of grace, our ship roars continue past coasts of Spain and Portugal and reached after several days of travel, the Strait of Gibraltar.
