Pilgrimage of la Virgen de la Cabeza

Activity · Pozuelo del Rey, Cuenca del Henares, Madrid

Image of Pozuelo del Rey, not of the place itself.

On the fourth Sunday in September the village honours its patron saint at a neoclassical 18th-century hermitage; local tradition puts the devotion down to a soldier who came back from Lepanto in 1571 with the image brought from Andújar.
