The RomerÃÂa de El RocÃÂo is a procession or pilgrimage on the second day of the Pentecost to the Hermitage of El RocÃÂo in the countryside of Almonte, Province of Huelva, Andalusia, Spain, in honor of the Virgin of El RocÃÂo. In recent years the RomerÃÂa has brought together roughly a million pilgrims each year. The romerÃÂa 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. All wear boots. 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 ox-cart with holy shrine.
