At the grotto of Massabielle

A day in Lourdes, to fulfil a wish of my mum. Nestled at the foot of the Pyrenees, the town develops around its sanctuary, in which you suddenly breathe silence and peace, despite the large influx of tourists. Personally I didn't love the business developed around a place of worship that speculates on the feelings of many, but entering the sanctuary and sitting in front of the grotto anyone will be able to find something. Regardless of what one believes and thinks. The recollection, the silence and the sight of so much suffering that turns into joy and faith strike you more than anything else, giving a feeling of gratitude and wellbeing. And for our times that is already a miracle.
