The picturesque village of Parises, located in the heart of Serra do Caldeirão de São Brás de Alportel, celebrates this weekend the apparition of Fátima to the shepherd children, with yet another edition of the beautiful Festa dos Tabuleiros Floridos in honor of Nossa Senhora de Fátima, a tradition of a religious nature that annually has many hundreds of visitors.
