Pilgrims gather around an statue of the virgin Mary trying to touch it, as it is carried during a procession in the village of El Rocio, southern Spain on May 16, 2016. El Rocio pilgrimage, the largest in Spain, gathers hundreds of thousands of devotees in traditional outfits converging in a burst of colour as they make their way on horseback and onboard decorated carriages across the Andalusian countryside.
