A MAN RECORDS WITH A VIDEOCAMERA NEXT TO THE SHRINE OF EL ROCIO, 2003-06-08 (photo)

A man records with a videocamera next to the shrine of El Rocio, in the Donana national park, during the annual pilgrimage in which hundreds of thousands of devotees of the Virgen del Rocio converge at the village of Almonte to pay homage on June 8, 2003. Every spring, in the biggest romeria, or pilgrimage, in Spain, the devotees of the Virgen del Rocio take part in the celebration which combines religious fervor and festive colour as pilgrims make their way to the shrine on horseback or in brightly decorated carriages, in multi-coloured caravans that wind across the Andalusian countryside.
