Romeria in Almayate

The word “Romería” comes from “romero”, which means those travelling towards Rome.

The Romería has brought together roughly a million pilgrims each year.

Romeria is a traditional religious festival celebrated in Andalusia, Spain. It is a pilgrimage to a particular shrine or holy site, usually held in the spring or summer months. Romerias have been an essential part of Andalusian culture for centuries, and they offer a unique opportunity to experience the region's rich heritage.

Some Romerias have become so popular that they attract thousands of pilgrims from all over Andalusia and beyond.

The Romeria Almayate is a vibrant and colourful event, with pilgrims dressed in traditional Andalusian clothing and riding on horseback or in decorated carriages. Music, dancing, and food are also essential parts of the festival.
