El Rocio is an odd town, part spaghetti western, part posers' paradise, and part pilgrimage destination. The Hermitage, Santuario de Nuestra Señora del Rocío, is famous for its feast day parades. Horses are the main mode of transport for the locals who live in the very sandy area working in the marshes of the Doñana National Park. I found it hilarious watching all the city dwellers posing on a weekend break here; the locals are unassuming and friendly.

PiP 1 - The Hermitage
PiP 2 - Hitched, most buildings have hitching posts.
PiP 3 - (Poser alert!) Outdoor bars are high to save riders having to dismount!
PiP 4 - (Poser alert!) Riding off into the sunset ...

If you would like more info there's loads on the internet - just type in El Rocio - there can be only one!!

Fine shot and PiPs!
It's the start ofthe fiesta season in the villages around here and it's ghastly: Horrible music very loud all night long and people using it as an excuse to get blind drunk.YUK! So, I'm a bit of a 'Bah Humbug' type when it comes to this kind of thing - I could never become Spanish!!!

Luckily no fiesta when I was there - just the weekend posers and a huge gridlock when they all tried to leave at the same time Sunday p.m.!
I only went to one fiesta, Three Kings, in a small town, only one band, no virgin, just lots of sweets chucked at the kids :)

That would be extremely tolerable. But here we're talking rap and rock bands low on quality or merit but high on noise and tedium!

A lovely series Maggie. I expect the locals find it hilarious too,
but take their money all the same ;-))
