"First and foremost, Mary was a mother, and I think a mother's love is what the world needs more and more. That for me is what's so important about Mary. When I think about Mary, it's a mother's unconditional love, and fortitude in the face of good times, bad times. I think that's something we all need."

How to describe El Roccio
El Rocío, the most significant town in the vicinity of the Parque Nacional de Doñana, surprises first-timers. Its streets, unpaved and covered in sand, are lined with colourfully decked-out single-storey houses with sweeping verandahs, left empty half the time. But this is no ghost town: these are the well-tended properties of 115 hermandades (brotherhoods), whose pilgrims converge on the town every Pentecost (Whitsunday) weekend for the Romería del Rocío, Spain’s largest religious festival. And at most weekends, the hermandades arrive in a flurry of festive fun for other ceremonies.
Beyond its uniquely exotic ambience, El Rocío impresses with its striking setting in front of luminous Doñana marismas (wetlands), where herds of deer drink at dawn and, at certain times of year, pink flocks of flamingos gather in massive numbers.
First and foremost El Roccio is a place of Catholic religious pilgrimage as only the Spaniards can do, a nation that turns religion into a party. Secondly traditional Andalucian dress and love of horses and horse drawn carriages bring it all back to bygone days . Thirdly the Spanish Devotion to The Blessed Virgin Mary is particularly strong and very public, not at all subtle.
All of these combine to make a place that is unique and somewhat special and not at all like the cowboy town that some refer to El Roccio as, more a genuine place of traditional religious pilgrimage.
