Camping La Aldea
Surroundings

Every year at Pentecost, over a million people gather around the village of El Rocío in the heart of Doñana, to worship the statue of the “Blanca Paloma”, being this Spain’s most visited pilgrimage. Notwithstanding, during the year various ceremonies and pilgrimages succeed each other, organized by the different brotherhoods, like the festival of the Candelaria, the spectacular “sacá” of the mares in June, and the Rocío Chico (small) in august, that all congregate hundreds of pilgrims rendering worship to the Queen of the Marshlands. A natural obligated visit is to be paid to the religious museum of the village.

Declared Heritage of Humanity and Reserve of the Biosphere, Doñana is Europe’s mayor ecologic reserve and home of the almost Iberian Lynx.
