Pilgrims on horses cross the Quema river by Villamarrique on their way to the shrine of El Rocio during the annual El Rocio pilgrimage on May 9, 2008. The pilgrimage to Almonte which houses the Virgin del Rocio is the largest in Spain with hundreds of thousands of devotees in traditional outfits converging in a burst of colour as they make their way on horseback and decorated carriages across the Andalusian countryside.
