EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Agence France-Presse (AFP), the timeless tradition of Spain comes to life. The image showcases a mesmerizing spectacle as a herd of majestic horses, known as wild mares, elegantly cross through the picturesque village of Rocio during the annual "Saca de las Yeguas" or round up. Taking place on June 26,2018, this centuries-old event is steeped in history and cultural significance. Every year in late June, these free-roaming horses are gathered from the marshes and forests near Coto Donana National Park. They embark on an extraordinary journey that begins with being blessed at the hermitage in El Rocio before galloping through the bustling streets of Almonte. The photograph perfectly captures the raw beauty and power of these magnificent creatures as they gracefully traverse through Rocio's charming village setting. With their manes flowing freely and hooves pounding against cobblestone streets, they create an awe-inspiring sight for all who witness it. This image not only encapsulates Spain's rich equestrian heritage but also serves as a reminder of our deep connection with nature and its untamed wonders. It symbolizes resilience, freedom, and unity within Spanish culture while showcasing AFP's commitment to capturing remarkable moments around the world
