We will drive up into the stunning Tramuntana Mountains for our transformational day visiting The Black Madonna of Lluc. We will spend time wrapped in the arms of The Black Madonna, in her beautiful basilica, set amongst a monastery in the mountains. Journey up to the location where she was discovered in the 13th century by a Shepard.
Lluc has been a centre of pilgrimage since the 13th century when an Arab shepherd boy, newly converted to Christianity, discovered a dark wooden statue of the Virgin in a cleft in the rock. The image was placed in the local church but three times it returned miraculously to its cave, whereupon the villagers recognised a message from God and built a shrine to house Her.
La Moreneta ('the Little Dark One') is now encrusted with precious stones, and sits in a chapel decorated with the arms of every Mallorcan town.
