Pastor de Colomera is a revered figure closely associated with the Virgin of the Cabeza, a significant Marian devotion in Andujar, Spain. According to tradition, the shepherd witnessed a miraculous apparition of the Virgin Mary in 1227 on a hill in the Sierra Morena, marking the origin of one of Spain's oldest Marian pilgrimages. His encounter inspired the construction of the Basilica of Nuestra Senora de la Cabeza, a sacred site that continues to attract thousands of pilgrims each year.
