Romería de Torrijos festival
On the second Sunday of October there is a public holiday in the town, called "Romería de Torrijos". In 1923 the decision was taken to establish a pilgrimage to the sanctuary of Torrijos on the second Sunday of October, carrying in procession the image of the patroness. The Virgin is accompanied by numerous pilgrims in decorated carriages or on horseback. When the Virgin arrives at the Torrijos Hacienda, mass is celebrated in the central courtyard. Is is a major pilgrimage of the Aljarafe comarca.
Prehistory
The town has a big Chalcolithic deposit, one of the biggest of Spain. In Valencina there are two very famous dolmens, the dolmen of Matarrubilla and the Dolmen de la Pastora. A dolmen is a megalithic tomb with several upright stones supporting a flat table or capstone. Many date back to pre 3000 BC. Originally the dolmens were covered with earth to form a barrow, but time has eroded everything leaving just the stones intact.
Archaeological remains from 2500 BC indicate it was a major copper-smelting town.
