El Rocío Tours and Activities | Discover the Heart of Andalusia

Discover the charming village of El Rocío, a unique destination in Andalusia, Spain. Famed for its whitewashed houses, sandy streets, and vibrant local culture, this small town attracts visitors seeking authentic Spanish tradition and natural beauty. With the Doñana National Park close by, it’s the perfect place for those who love nature, horses, and a touch of magic.

A Bit of History

El Rocío began as a humble village, but its popularity grew with the famous pilgrimage, Romería del Rocío. Every year, thousands of pilgrims travel on foot, horseback, or by decorated wagons to honor the statue of the Virgin of El Rocío, a tradition that dates back centuries and forms the heart of local culture.

Best Time to Visit

If you want to experience the lively spirit of the village, plan your trip during the Romería in late May or early June. For a quieter visit, spring or autumn offer pleasant weather, beautiful landscapes, and fewer crowds, making it ideal for nature lovers and those seeking a peaceful escape.
