Mysticism and Pilgrimage in Andalusia

Andalusia has been highly mystical and religious since antiquity. The god Melkart was worshipped in the Phoenician temple of Sancti Petri, the Iberians worshipped their fertility goddesses in the caves and sanctuaries of Jaén, and in the Antequera Dolmens the main rites were those connected to the sun's cycles.

Spiritual settings that have been enriched with expressions of popular devotion, like the great pilgrimage routes that combine culture and faith, and the routes to learn more about figures such as Saint Teresa and Saint John of the Cross.

And we mustn't forget the great Marian shrines and the pilgrimages where thousands of devotees congregate in beautiful natural settings, mainly during spring and summer.
