The day with the highest public attendance at the Virgen de la Cabeza Pilgrimage has concluded without serious incidents, as reported by the Andalusian Emergency Agency, which has managed over 550 incidents since last Friday.

The assessment confirms the correct development of the Virgin's processional departure in one of the most multitudinous and emblematic events of the Andalusian calendar, highlighting the absence of critical situations.

"The management of the Cerro Plan called for prudence and patience from pilgrims as they begin their return journey."

Since the activation of the operation last Friday, the Emergencias 112 Andalucía service has managed a total of 552 communications. Most were related to social services, especially assistance for people with reduced mobility, totaling 146 cases. These were followed by health incidents, with 142 notices, informational inquiries with 58, and traffic incidents with 47.
In the health sector, the operation provided 324 assists and a total of twelve transfers, eight of which were by helicopter. Seven of these transfers were made to the Alto Guadalquivir Hospital in Andújar and one to the Medical-Surgical Hospital in Jaén.
The National Police Unit attached to the autonomous community carried out 23 security and protection services, in addition to 77 surveillance and control patrols at various points of the operation. Agents identified thirteen people and checked 24 vehicles, responding to 301 requests and providing nine humanitarian aids.
The Transmission Center (Cetra), managed by personnel from the Andalusian Emergency Agency, once again consolidated its role as the coordination hub for the operation, centralizing all incidents and communications in real time.
Regarding the return, a total of 20 carts from Andújar and four from Marmolejo began their journey back on Sunday afternoon. For this Monday, the staggered departure of the remaining convoys is planned, with 34 carts from Marmolejo at 10:00 AM, 20 carriages from Andújar at 10:30 AM, and the main body of the Andujareña convoy, consisting of 159 carts, at 11:00 AM.
The Cofradía Matriz will be the last to leave the Cerro del Cabezo, with departure scheduled for 12:00 PM and a stop in Lugar Nuevo for lunch. The Cerro Plan will remain active until the last cart enters the urban area of the city. The A-6177 road was reopened in both directions late Sunday, along with the progressive removal of special traffic devices set up for the pilgrimage.
