Alcalá de Guadaíra

Seville, beautiful and diverse

This is a modern chapel dating from 1987 located in the Sierrecilla Lucas. The Roda pilgrimage takes place here on the second weekend of May. 

Declared an Andalusian Festival of Tourist Interest. 

The Dukes of Montepensier commissioned the reconstruction of this Mudejar style building in 1859 according to the design of the architect Balbino Marrón. It consists of a single nave with an 18th-century baroque high altar and a painting Saint Ferdinand in front of the Virgin Mary by Luis de Oñate.

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.

The Torrijos Procession has been traditionally celebrated since 1923 on the second Sunday of October in Valencina de la Concepción. The Discovery of the Christ of Torrijos on 29 September 1600 was a great event for Valencina's one hundred or so residents and for the towns in the region.

Declared a Festival of National Tourist Interest in Andalusia in 1998, the pilgrimage is one of the most important in the province of Seville. The first one was celebrated in the La Romera estate in 1962.

8 September, the Feast of the Holy Nativity of Mary and the liturgical day of Our Lady of Setefilla, is the most important day dedicated to Our Lady of Setefilla. The traditional pilgrimage to the Sanctuary takes place on this day.
