Route of the Patron Saints of Spain
From Seville to Zaragoza, with the great mothers of the Hispanity
A pilgrimage for five vocations that gather the faith of Spain and of all Hispanity: from the Immaculate, patron of Spain, to the Virgin of Carmen of the people of the sea. A way to thank for the Marian heritage that crossed the ocean.
The five stages
Patrona de España y de las Indias (Charles III, 1760). Seville, the city of the conceptual vote, opens the way with the most beloved dogma of the Spanish faith: Mary, full of grace. Prayer to the Immaculate.
"Queen of Hispanity." The Catholic Kings and Colon prayed before this extreme Morenita before and after the discovery of America; the first indigenous people were baptized here. Living memory of the encounter of two worlds under the mantle of Mary.
Patrona de Madrid, found - according to tradition - in the wall (the almudayna) after centuries hidden. Marian heart of the capital. Their story.
Patron of Hispanity and Aragon. On the column where, according to tradition, the Virgin appeared to Santiago, the heart of the Spanish and American faith beats. Their story.
Star of the sea and patron of the sailors and the Navy. Close the route by looking at the ocean that brought Marian devotion to America. Their story.
To live the way
In each stage: pray a ten of the Rosary before the image, offers the day for an intention and, if you want, leaves a rose in the Rosary Garden. You can do it in two weeks or by sections throughout the year, coinciding with the big parties.
