A Romeria is a religious pilgrimage wich has it roots in the
Catholic faith. It involves a parade of cars, horse drawn carts and
people on foot going on a journey that ends in a place considered holy.
One of the most famous Romeria’s is that of the Nuestra Senora del
Rocio. During the first weekend of June the three Saints (Virgen del
Carmen, San Jose en Virgen de La Milagrosa) representing the villages of
Los Gomez, La Vinuela en Los romanes are brought together at a large
lake in the hills of Vinuela. There the inhabitants of the three
villages gather and stay for three days to eat, drink, sing and dance
in honour of their Saints.
