Cordoba
Feria de Nuestra SeÑora de la Salud

Huelva
El Rocio

This pilgrimage sees hermandades coming from towns and cities all over Spain, but especially Sevilla and Huelva provinces in Andalucia, in gypsy wagons pulled by oxen.

The Global Gift Gala

The Eva Longoria Foundation has united forces to create a substantial difference in the lives of countless children and women worldwide. We have come together under the notion that a combined effort of parallel missions is more forceful than organizations working towards the same goal non-unilaterally. The new wave of philanthropy is the united forces of resources, organizations and synchronistic brands to have a transformative impact globally. The Global Gift Gala will be a tribute to those who help support and foster awareness for children & the empowerment of women around the world. It will feature entertainment, a sumptuous dinner and an award show in recognition of the 2012 The Global Gift Humanitarian Award recipient.
