Image of Calera y Chozas, not of the place itself.

Pilgrimage of Calera y Chozas (Toledo) in honour of the Virgen de Chilla, one of the most crowded events of the local spring, held on the first weekend of May. The events begin with the Rosario de la Aurora, the blessing of sweets and several masses; afterwards the image is carried in procession from the village to its hermitage, with performances by folk groups and brass bands and food and drink at the stalls. In the afternoon, after the Salve Popular, the Virgin returns to the church.
