The 133rd Pilgrimage to Penha began at 08:00 from the Collegiate Church of Nossa Senhora da Oliveira, in Guimarães, with pilgrims walking through the streets of the city and the parish of Costa towards the Shrine of Penha. The walk was accompanied by brass bands and scouts, bringing together faithful from different parishes and communities in Guimarães.

The motto of this year's edition was "With MARY, SERVE and WELCOME all", celebrating the devotion to Nossa Senhora da Penha and the values of solidarity, fraternity and welcome that unite the people of Guimarães.

The central moment of the day took place at 11:00 with the celebration of the outdoor Mass at the Shrine of Penha, presided over by D. José Cordeiro, Metropolitan Archbishop of Braga and Primate of Spain.

The participation of the Mayor of Guimarães represented the recognition of this religious event as a major expression of the municipality's identity, history and traditions, reaffirming the pilgrimage as one of the most expressive moments of religious life in Guimarães.

Why this matters

This beach in the Algarve is among the cleanest in the world and to get there you have to take a boat

The Beach of Cabanas de Tavira, in the Algarve, was highlighted in 2025 as one of the cleanest in the world, accessible only by boat from the quay on Avenida Ria Formosa, in the center of the town, on a journey of less than five minutes to the island. With about seven kilometres in length, the beach is part of the Ria Formosa Natural Park and maintains the Blue Flag, a distinction that assesses criteria such as water quality, environmental management, safety and education. Maintaining environmental conditions involves work from local authorities and awareness campaigns from Taviraverde, a municipal company, against plastic pollution.
