EL ROCIO Almonte Huelva Spain 11/11/11 + info.
Dreamt of going here for ages, now I have. Went off-season but still great. Go by bus from Huelva to Almonte and from there to El Rocio. Be careful there are few buses and there seems to be continious changes of schedule without informing. I spent 4 hours waiting to go back with the lovely couple in the last image. I finally had to take a taxi to get back to my last bus leaving from Huelva to El Portillo where I staid .
MUSIC: El relicario (pasodoble) from Viva Espana 1996.
VIDEO: La Ermita de la virgen del Rocio and
Velatorio de la Virgen and surroundings, all my private pics (copyrighted)
It is so exceptional, there are no real streets, only sand, I expected Clint Eastwood to appear all the time .This little village is full of wonderful friendly people just wanting you to visit I will soon again !!
The El Rocío pilgrimage is the most famous in the region, attracting nearly a million people from across Andalucia and the entire country, and beyond. Every Andalucian city, town and village has its own pilgrimages, for its patron saint, virgin or other much-loved local figure. But the El Rocio has cult status, and is the most important and most colourful. It follows on from Semana Santa (March/April), and the various spring ferias, of which Seville's Feria de Abril (April) is the biggest.
HISTORY OF EL ROCIO
This cult dates back to the 13th century, when a hunter from the village of Villamanrique (or Almonte, depending on which version of the story you follow) discovered a statue of the Virgin Mary in a tree trunk in the Doñana park. A chapel was built where the tree stood, and it became a place of pilgrimage. Devotion to this particular version of the Virgin was initially a local affair. Then, by the 17th century, hermandades (brotherhoods) were making the trip from nearby towns at Pentecost; by the 19th century, they came from all over Huelva, Cadiz and Seville, on a journey taking up to four days. Over the next century, the cult of the Virgin del Rocio became more and more widespread, and these days participants come from as far away as Barcelona and the Canary Islands - not to mention tourists who travel from abroad, around Europe and even further afield.
The object of the pilgrimage is a 13th-century statue of the Virgen Del Rocio (Virgin of the Dew), in the town of the same name. El Rocio is in Huelva province, in the heart of the Doñana park, between Almonte and the coast. Most pilgrims, known as rocieros, approach the town through the park itself.
The town of El Rocío is a sprawling, pretty Wild-West-style place (you tie your horse to a wooden rail with a sign saying Reservado Caballos - reserved for horses - while you have a drink or a meal), with sandy, unpaved roads (easier on the hooves). For a few days in late May or early June, Catholic hermandades (brotherhoods) and countless others flock from all over Andalucia, Spain, and beyond, to the town, to pay tribute to the Virgin del Roció, housed in her own church in the town.
Until the 1950s the town had only a few houses, and everyone camped in their wagons. Now, each of the 90 or so brotherhoods has its own house with stables, as well as its own chapel, with its name displayed at the front. Its members and their friends and families, and their horses, eat and sleep here during the pilgrimage weekend. People bring mattresses and bed down anywhere they can. There are impromptu parties, open-air masses, horse races and competitions between the hermandades. And lots of singing and dancing, at all hours of the day and night. These brotherhoods also stay at their houses at weekends throughout the year, with their families in tow, making each visit into a big fiesta.
The pilgrimage takes place over the weekend before Pentecost Monday, the seventh weekend after Easter (see box, right, for dates). People start arriving on the Friday before, and leave again on Tuesday. Beware of heavy traffic going to El Rocio (on the Seville-Huelva motorway, and the minor roads in the area) the week before, and leaving again the week after. The actual pilgrims don't travel on the motorway itself, but follow a route which sometimes goes alongside it - the queue of horses and wagons, surrounded by clouds of dust snakes back for miles.

SYNOPSIS
This is a preview of Part Two of our three hour documentary film series on the history of Almonte. Almonte: Transitions picks up in 1960 where Part One, Almonte's Interwoven Past leaves off.
The film documents Almonte's transition from the blue collar mill town that it still was in 1960 to the dynamic and exciting arts centre, tourist destination and all round great place to live that it is today.
The story is told by over 35 interviewees, all of whom witnessed and/or played a direct role in the events and activities covered in the film.
Almonte: Transitions features many pictures of the town during the time frame, some fabulous vintage film footage, and of course some spectacular high definition footage of the town today including almost all of the festivals and events that have taken place since December of 2012.
Visiting El Rocio, in Huelva Spain!
A little journey to El Rocio in Spain. It's known for its yearly pilgrimage called Romería de El Rocío. This year 2017 the Romeria del Rocio will happen in June 2017. El Rocio and Huelva are both very well worth visiting. I haven't been to Romeria del Rocio yet, but maybe in 2017 or maybe 2018 I'll finally partake!
The video is split in 2 parts! Part 2 is available here:

Travel Spain - Exploring the Hermitage of El Rocio
Take a tour of Hermitage of El Rocio in El Rocio, Spain -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
In the quiet village of El Rocio in Andalusia Spain is a newly constructed hermitage built on a sacred location.
The area was deemed an official hermitage site around 1270 by King Alfonso the Wise in honor of the Virgin Mary.
The elaborate cross topping this pristine structure comes from the 17th century and previously belonged to the revered Barrio Santacruz.
The gleaming white structure was constructed in the mid 20th century by two Spanish architects over two decades.
Millions of pilgrims flock to the hermitage on the second day of the Pentecost, a seven week celebration after Easter Sunday.
Most people come from far away to celebrate El Rocio and camp among the crowded streets.
When the annual pilgrimage occurs, the city comes to life with magnificent, ethereal decorations, singing, and dancing.
Huelva and its province ( english speech )
The province of Huelva is located in the western extreme of Andalusia, by the Atlantic Ocean and Portugal. The mythical civilization of Tartessos arose in Huelva, and the province has a mining tradition stretching back six thousand years.
45. The city of Huelva is situated at the confluence of several inlets on the estuaries of the Tinto and Odiel Rivers. This privileged location allows one to enjoy extraordinarily beautiful environmental surroundings.
