In the Mogán pilgrimage, how strict are they? Is there some margin with clothing, for example with shoes?
Hello Iria! The truth is that I personally haven't been, but I don't think they are strict with shoes...
No. But not sneakers, something canary, sandals or something similar.
I would like to create or join a small group of people who want to go to pilgrimages when they can and prepare repertoires where we play and sing, even if it is percussion instruments that, in truth, accompany a lot.
Hello Maria! Let's see if someone who reads your comment can help you because the truth is that we don't know! A hug
Good morning María, we have a cart that goes with a party that plays, in case you are interested.
Greetings Leticia

The good thing about having it here is that the entire community can comment and we add other smaller or less known pilgrimages. It is also pending to know the dates of some pilgrimages such as those of San Juan 🙂
