A great place for visiting when around. Next to Doñana park along the mirador. Can’t miss it as it’s a place for pelgrimage and the tourist attraction of town. Up to the church on the left some stores for candles and tourists amount others. On the right the mirador.

Beautiful church between Sevilla and Huelva in the tiny village of El Rocio. Their main annual celebrations are around the end of May and this place literally gets thousands of pilgrims. Any other time of the year great to visit. If you want the full experience, Mass during summer time is around 9pm. It is ver very very hot during the day. In the evening you will also see the horses gather in the marisma. Buy candles in the shop Ian offer them in the nearby candelarium.

This place looks like like a village in a cowboy film, sandy road, small houses, a cute church in the middle of the village and horses with wagon on the street.

This small town, not paved, since horses are up and down the streets, has a very nice church with Virgen del Rocio. Pilgrims visit this church all year round but the main feasts are in May/June. The virgin itself is very small, but beautifully placed and decorated. There are plenty of restaurants and shops around and a beautiful lake. The visit is well worth it.…
