La Romería de Nuestra Señora de las Virtudes

La Romería de Nuestra Señora de las Virtudes occurs in Fuente de Piedra on the second Sunday in May.  It starts on Saturday, when an icon of the virgin is taken from the church, placed on an oxcart, and walked past the Laguna to a spot in the countryside.  In this case, the countryside spot is a picnic sight near a campground/ caravan park.  The following day is spent at the picnic spot, and in the evening the icon is walked back to the church.  I shot quite a few photos of the camino to the campground (on color and black and white).  The color shots won't be ready for a while, but here is a selection of some of the black and white.  All were shot with a Rolleicord Va on TMax 400 film.
