When a Rociero (Devout of Our Lady of Rocío) speaks of the walk, he or she is referring the journey taken with their perspective brotherhood, from their native village or city and ending in the Village of El Rocío at the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Rocío. This walk ends with the presentation of their brotherhood’s Sinpecado (banner) to the image of The Virgin Mary. The Sinpecado is traditionally carried is a specially decorated wagon pulled by oxens and decorated as a mobile sanctuary.
The road is a time of reflection, a time to get in touch with the natural area along the route, a time to make new friends, strengthen old one friendships, and most of all to reflect on ones life and our relationship with God. People sing, pray, laugh, dance and cry, and long for the brief presence at the feet of the image of The Mother of God.
The walk is a rustic experience without the amenities of our times filled with the comradery of brotherhood, purpose, and a time to experience the traditions of the people of Andalusia. The walk was established with the hopes of uniting all Christians throughout Europe through the devotion of Our Lady of Rocío.
