Pilgrimage of San Mateo
The popular Pilgrimage of San Mateo is the most crowded countryside and festive meeting in the September calendar in Alcalá de Guadaíra. Prior to the feast of the patron saint, it brings together families and groups of friends who accompany the beautifully decorated wagon on a festive outdoor journey through the Alcalá countryside.
The entourage of wagons, horsemen, and pilgrims on foot departs at 10:00 AM on September 13, 2026 from the Parroquia de la Inmaculada Concepción, heading towards the vicinity of the Puente del Dragón and the pine forests next to the river to celebrate an entire day of fellowship, singing, and shared gastronomy.
The event has free access for all attendees. It is essential to wear comfortable footwear for the walk, hats to protect yourself from the sun, and supplies to enjoy the day in the pine forest.
