Info View of El Rocío, a hermitage located in Almonte, Province of Huelva, Andalusia (Spain) and home to the Virgin of El Rocío, a small, much-venerated carved wood statue, destination of an annual procession/pilgrimage on the second day of the Pentecost known as the Romería de El Rocío, that attracts approximately one million visitors every year. The first hermitage, a simple Mudéjar building, was constructed after command of Alfonso the Wise at the end of the 13th century. Also the statue of the Virgin dates from that time. After an earthquake (1755) and a demolition (1963), the current hermitage building was constructed between 1964 and 1990. All by me, Poco2 16:04, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

Oppose - This is a difficult motif to photograph because the buildings are so white, but an overcast sky with a lot of white clouds provides insufficient contrast with the buildings. Either a darker overcast sky or a blue sky might work better. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:40, 17 May 2016 (UTC)- Oppose per Ikan. Too harsh contrast in the forground, too little towards the sky. --Kreuzschnabel 05:50, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose Tourist snap, sorry. Too many tourists. Technical quality a bit weak too, with the people's clothes too dark. -- Colin (talk) 18:34, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
