About El Rocio

The local town El Rocio with its whitewashed houses, sandy streets and tethering posts for horses has at it’s centre a beautiful white church housing a statue of the Virgin of the Dew – the focal point of a centuries-old annual pilgrimage attended by thousands each year. The pilgrimage is also a fiesta with celebrations, fireworks, music, singing and dancing taking place over 3 – 4 days at Pentecost and many pilgrims travel by horse and wagon and wear national costume for the occasion.

The beautiful National Park is known for its wetlands, lagoons, pine forests, cliffs, shifting coastal sand dunes and miles of unspoiled beaches. The park is a sanctuary for wildlife including thousands of European and African migratory birds, horses, fallow deer, Spanish red deer, wild boars, European badgers, Egyptian mongooses, and endangered species such as the Spanish imperial eagle and the Iberian lynx. Excursions can be arranged on horseback or in 4×4 vehicles and can even include a camel ride. Every year in June the wild horses in the swamps are rounded up and taken to the small city of Almonte where they are put up for sale (the unsold horses are released back into the wild).

The nearest beach to the park is Matalascañas which is approximately 15 minutes’ drive (just 25 minutes’ from the local town by bus). The main part of the Blue Flag beach has excellent facilities including lifeguards and showers and the beach has a 4km promenade lined with good fish restaurants serving freshly caught sardines, mackerel, dab, anchovies, gilthead bream, hake, sea bass and shellfish. The bustling port of Huelva located on the mouth of the Odiel and Tinto estuary has been an important port since the Phoenicians established it as a major trading post.

The town has many pretty plazas, a wealth of seafood bars and restaurants and the provincial museum has an excellent archaeology section. Not to be missed is a trip to Seville – the capital of Andalusia – with fabulous food, Mudejar, Gothic and Renaissance architecture, Moorish walls, Roman ruins – and of course – flamenco.
