Aznalcázar. Rocío. Vado del Quema
El Rocío Confraternities Cross the Vado de Quema

The crossing of the River Guadiamar at the “Vao de Quema” is one of the highlights of the municipality of Aznalcázar and its surroundings.  The Confraternities have crossed the Vado de Quema since the first devout pilgrims travelled to the village of El Rocío. Those were the days when the Confraternities had not even been officially created.
