El Rocio with Chris and Jane

Taking the Mule for a walk!


30 MARCH 2008

El Rocio is at the edge of the Parque Donana.

Over a million pilgrims join the Romeria de El Rocio every year, most on horseback or carriages and dressed in traditional costume.  

All the streets are sand, and there are hitching posts for houses outside all the houses. Horses are the preferred means of transport.
We liked it so much that we found a hotel and stayed the night in order to explore the Parque Donana tomorrow.
