The Romería de El Rocío is a procession or pilgrimage on the second day of the Pentecost to the Hermitage of El Rocío in the countryside of Almonte, Province of Huelva, Andalusia, Spain, in honor of the Virgin of El Rocío. In recent years the Romería has brought together roughly a million pilgrims each year. The romería as such begins on Saturday before Pentecost. However, pilgrims come from throughout Andalusia, Spain, and typically travel an additional one to seven days beforehand, either on foot, on horseback or in horse-drawn carriages. Many count this travel as the most important part of the pilgrimage. The pilgrims travel in groups, religious confraternities. The pilgrims usually wear traditional Andalusian costume. Women carry a good flamingo costumes or rociera bata (similar, but more practical for walking or riding). The most people in this group wear casual wear. This confraternity has a lavishly decorated donkey-cart with holy shrine.
