Over the weekend of Friday evening to Sunday evening 13th to 15th May, Rojales has a pilgrimage 'romeria' for San Isidro - the patron saints of farm workers.
This takes place in El Recorral park where families often camp out for the weekend,
On the Sunday there is a procession from the church at around 8am up to the park where they celebrate all day with events in & out doors - indoors is a large marquee!
Usually there will be lots of dance shows & music in the tent, outside they may have a horse show or other events.
And there will be a large free paella for everyone too.
The details of the programme will be out soon. (And I'll publicize when I see it,)
Meanwhile, here is the poster & a photo of the romeria passing Pueblo Lucero on a previous year.

Reminder:

The annual Pilgrimage of San Isidro in Rojales is from the 13th May to 15th May 2016.

As is tradition, hundreds of the villagers and visitors will go to the Recorral park to enjoy the countryside and activities.

The Department of fiestas of Rojales city council has prepared a varied programme of events which generally will include activities like Flamenco, live music, dancing, Giant Paella, games and more for the 3 days of the pilgrimage.

The full programme of events will be available in theRojales Ayuntamiento/ Town Halland may also be available in the Quesada Municiple centre/Town Hall. (click on these to get location details)

Where is the park in Rojales?

At easterly end of Quesada.
Here's a map with Lemon Tree Road at Bottom and golf course at top.
I have marked the park, entrance and show ground area.
The town often provides some free transport too from Mercadonna.
