San
Roque information
San Roque's Holy Week and Royal Fair
As you walk alon its steep narrow cobbled streets
and smell the sweet scent of orange blossom and jasmine,
and incense during Holy Week. This festival was given
the prestigious title of Events of Andalusian Tourist
Interest, reaching its climax with the Good Friday
processions when twelve floats featuring the Twelve
Stations of the Cross leave the Saint Mary the Crowned
Parish Church. The Royal Fair in August should be
visited when the town is teeming with people dressed
in colourful flamenco dresses, riding thoroughbred
horses, singing and dancing fandangos. The people
from San Roque are kind, friendly and fun-loving.
