This festivity, one of the most anticipated by the residents of Pruna, is a manifestation of deep faith and devotion to their patron saint. For the occasion, the image of the Virgin will be dressed as a shepherdess, meticulously adorned by the Virgin's chambermaids, keeping alive a tradition full of affection and respect.
During these days, the entire town unites in a celebration that brings together all generations. From the youngest, who experience the excitement of the journey for the first time, to the elders, who pass on ancestral customs, and the youth, who fill every corner with joy. The atmosphere is characterized by the presence of flamenco dancers in colorful costumes and horse riders accompanying the procession, creating a unique ambiance.
The Pruna Pilgrimage offers unforgettable moments, such as the anticipated petal shower from María La Camperita's balcony upon the Virgin's return to the town. Shared laughter, camaraderie, singing, and dancing are essential parts of this festival, where the community opens its heart to all visitors.
The Pruna Pilgrimage, declared a Festival of Tourist Interest in Andalusia, is not explained, it is lived. It is feeling, it is roots, it is faith, and it is pure Andalusia.
