This is the busiest and most publicised route: more than 60% of the Rocío brotherhoods make their pilgrimage along the Camino de Sevilla or its variants. Setting out from the city and from numerous Sevillian towns, it crosses the Aljarafe and the pine forest of Aznalcázar before entering the sandy tracks of inner Doñana along the Raya Real, a broad drovers' road of white sand.
Its most emblematic landmark is the Vado del Quema, the crossing of the Guadiamar river, where the "rociero baptism" is celebrated for those crossing it for the first time — a tradition declared a Festival of Tourist Interest of Andalusia. After days of up to 20 km and an overnight stop at the Palacio del Rey, all the variants converge at the Puente del Ajolí, "the gateway to heaven", before entering the village.
Who walks it
Triana, El Salvador, San Bernardo, la Macarena, Villamanrique and most of the Sevillian brotherhoods.
