With the arrival of the good weather, Andalusia fills with colour, music and tradition thanks to its pilgrimages. These religious and festive gatherings, such as the famous Romería del Rocío, are not only an expression of devotion, but also a celebration of Andalusian culture through art, music and, of course, fashion. At Ravial, with more than 75 years of experience in the textile sector, we know that every pilgrimage deserves an outfit that combines tradition, freshness and elegance. That is why we offer a selection of fabrics specially designed for this type of celebrations.

Women's fashion at the pilgrimages has its own identity and is full of tradition. Among the most common designs are the rociera dressing gown, canastero dresses and rociero skirts. These garments allow freedom of movement and adapt to the rural environment and long walks, without losing the festive and stylised air that characterises flamenco fashion.

When making this type of garment, it is essential to choose resistant, comfortable and full-bodied fabrics. At Ravial we have a wide variety of poplins, one of the star fabrics due to its versatility and structure. Lightweight but drapey crêpe also stands out, ideal for full skirts. Other fabrics recommended for this type of garments are stretch, which provides elasticity and adapts to the body, or printed cottons, perfect for shirts or combinations with skirts.

In our catalogue you will find all these fabrics with multiple prints (floral, polka dots, geometric...) and vibrant colours that reflect the spirit of the pilgrimage.

Men's clothing in pilgrimages has a sober but full of identity air. It is most common to opt for the classic short country suit with high-waisted trousers and jacket, although it is also common to see fresh and functional cotton shirts, combined with sashes and Andalusian hats.

To achieve that traditional look with maximum comfort, the most recommended fabrics are cotton, fine vaille or plain poplin, all of them with good breathability and comfort for long days outdoors. At Ravial, in addition to offering these materials in a wide range of plain colours, we also have options with small details or textures that add a distinctive touch without breaking with the classic aesthetic.

The wagon is not only a means of transport in the pilgrimages: it is a sign of identity of the group or brotherhood. For this reason, every detail of its decoration is taken care of, from the flowers to the fabrics that surround it. These fabrics must be resistant, easy to clean and brightly coloured to match the festive spirit.

At Ravial we offer printed canvas, panamás, thick poplins and resistant cottons, ideal for upholstering carts or creating curtains, banners and decorative details. Floral prints, geometric motifs and traditional colours bring any cart to life, turning it into a mobile work of art.

We also have a personalised stamping service to decorate the carts with the most original designs, designed especially for the occasion, using our basic printing techniques:

BASICO MOMO. Referencia: 00063-0001.

BASICO STRECH. Referencia: 00032-0001.

Every pilgrimage is an opportunity to proudly show off our roots. At Ravial we know this, and that's why we work every season to offer fabrics that honour this tradition without sacrificing innovation and comfort. Our selection of fabrics for romería is designed to make each design unique, vibrant and resistant to the passage of time.

Trust Ravial for your creations: our experience, quality and passion for textiles are the best companion for your next pilgrimage.
