El Rocio Festival
This festival is little known outside Spain
yet it is the country's biggest pilgrimage (romeria) in which over a
million people make their way on foot and on horseback to the shrine of 'La Virgen del Rocio' which lies on the edge of the Doņana national park in the
province of Huelva.
The festival usually takes place at the end
of May and lasts for three days.
