Feria

Seville, beautiful and diverse

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.

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.

The Pilgrimage of Nuestra Señora de Aguas Santas in Villaverde del Río (Seville), commonly known as the “convent” pilgrimage, is one of the two oldest in Andalusia since it has taken place for nearly eight centuries (1247).
