Gypsies at a flamenco festival in the Romería de Los Remedios in Fregenal, Badajoz

At the end of October, for more than thirty years, gypsies from Spain and other countries such as Portugal, France and Germany have been gathering for what is probably the oldest gypsy pilgrimage in Spain. They gather at the Sanctuary of Nuestra Señora de los Remedios, in the town of Fregenal de la Sierra, Badajoz, to enjoy this special gypsy pilgrimage, which was born with the aim of becoming a meeting point between payos and gypsies, and although it has a clear religious motivation, coexistence and the promotion of the values of this race - such as flamenco - are also priorities.
