It is a Catholic celebration that consists of a trip or peregrination (in cars, floats, on horseback or on foot) that ends at a sanctuary or hermitage. It is not necessarily always a trip, but in some cases a celebration that lasts all day long.
Festival of San Miguel, Romeria, the celebrations around Torremolinos (Spain, Andalusia) honouring San Miguel Arcangel. Of particular interest, the 'Romeria' includes gypsy procession and a massive picnic event, which takes place at the end of the month, where around 200,000 join in the parades, dancing and festivities.
