Catalan Influencer Uncovers El Rocío's October Pilgrimage Tradition
A Catalan content creator, Dani Ruiz, recently embarked on his first pilgrimage to El Rocío in Huelva, Andalusia, sharing his experience with his online audience. Ruiz, known for his explorations of Barcelona's hidden gems, documented his journey to the revered site, which holds significant cultural and religious importance in Spain. His visit in October sparked a conversation about the various facets of the El Rocío tradition. "I was surprised to see a friend there in October, as I always associated El Rocío with the Romeria in May," Ruiz stated in his video. His friend, David, clarified the distinction, explaining that while the Romeria is the major annual festival, the "Peregrinacion" (pilgrimage) occurs at other times throughout the year, allowing different brotherhoods to visit the shrine. This educational aspect of Ruiz's vlog sheds light on the lesser-known October pilgrimages, which are distinct from the more widely publicized May event. The video offers a personal perspective on a deeply ingrained Spanish tradition, highlighting the cultural learning experience for visitors and locals alike. It underscores the ongoing nature of religious devotion and community engagement beyond the peak festival period.
