Overview
- Presentations of the 127 filiales began on Friday, May 22, with younger brotherhoods entering the sanctuary on the first day and the older groups scheduled for Saturday.
- Local authorities have enforced a vehicle ban inside the aldea from May 21–25, opened seven official parking zones (P1–P7) and expanded P3’s capacity by nearly 50% to direct traffic away from the village.
- A paid parking scheme is in place with typical car rates near €16.95 per day, larger vehicle fees around €20.25 per day, and a caravan area charging roughly €220 for the romería.
- Pilgrims continue to follow traditional routes through Doñana — including the Vado del Quema, Raya Real, Palacio del Rey and the Coria barcaza — where Guardia Civil and on‑site teams guide crossings and control access under hot, dusty conditions.
- Organizers are concentrating preparations on the Santo Rosario at midnight and the expected salto de la reja during the early hours of Monday, May 25, when the Hermandad Matriz de Almonte and the filiales will carry the Virgin out for the overnight procession.
