From the whole world, they come: 1, 5 million pilgrim's makes yearly to Pentecost on the way of El Rocío. Through rivers and dusty dune sand, the treks pass what a real "Rociero" is, neither heat nor exhaustion shies.
Because at the end of the trip waits on the pilgrims one of the most popular mercies - pictures of Spain: the virgin of El Rocío. Climax of the ceremonies: the night on Pentecost Monday.
If the Virgen finally is carried after hours of the tense expectation in the triumph from the church, it thunders thousand fold contrary to them: "Viva la Blanca Paloma"! El Rocío is also the International village of the horse.
