Pilgrimage of la Virgen del Remolino

Activity · El Molar, Cuenca del Medio Jarama, Madrid

Image of El Molar, not of the place itself.

Tradition places the finding of the image by shepherds beside the Jarama at around 1300, where its hermitage was built, rebuilt in 1957 seven and a half kilometres from the village. The patron saint's pilgrimage festival climbs up there between Easter and Ascension.
