El Rocio
A unique town that looks like something from the Wild West, with sandy streets where horses have right of way and hitching posts outside buildings instead of parking spaces. El Rocio is most famous for hosting the annual El Rocio Pilgrimage, Spain's largest religious procession, when a million devotees converge on this small hamlet to honor the Virgin of El Rocio. Located next to Doñana National Park, it's also a paradise for birdwatchers and nature lovers.
