Tocina brings together nature along the Guadalquivir, religious routes and traces of local history. In addition to the natural area of La Playita on the Guadalquivir, there are routes through the countryside, religious sites and traditions.

Nature and routes along the Guadalquivir

La Playita is a natural area on the Guadalquivir with picnic spots and numerous paths for outdoor recreation. The picnic spots and paths offer different ways to enjoy the area: you can spend time outdoors there or make a route through the countryside the focus of your visit.

Route 2 runs from Brenes to Tocina along the southern bank of the Guadalquivir, through orchards and cotton fields. The linear Seville–Los Rosales–Tocina cycling route is different: it is 49.30 km long. The two routes have different stated starting and ending points; the cycling route also has a stated total length. Route 2 can be understood in terms of its riverside course and the countryside it crosses, while the cycling route offers a specified distance. This helps you weigh the options according to the landscape experience or route length.

Camino and Romería

The seventh stage of the Camino Benedictino runs from north to south through Tocina. Along the way, it passes the parish church of San Vicente Mártir and the chapel of San Benito Abad. The route thus connects two named religious sites within the same stage and offers a different perspective on Tocina from the landscape routes along the Guadalquivir.

The Romería de la Virgen de Fátima has been celebrated in May since 1958. After a Mass, the procession heads to the El Eucaliptal grounds: participants travel on foot and on horseback, while the Simpecado is carried on a carriage. If you want to plan your trip around the Romería, check the exact event dates in advance. The celebration is a distinct cultural attraction alongside the Camino: here, a festival with a procession takes center stage; there, a stage with religious stops.

Townscape and historical traces

Today’s street layout and landmarks such as the church of San Vicente bear witness to the former presence of the Order of St. John in Tocina. This historical perspective adds to the religious stops along the Camino and the Romería tradition when exploring the town.

The Ermita de la Soledad is a Baroque building that houses statues belonging to the local religious brotherhoods. It formerly served as a cemetery. Its former function and the statues represent different aspects of the building’s history and add to the picture of Tocina’s religious past.

Getting there and regional setting

For travel from Seville, the Cercanías C3 line is a specific option: it runs from Seville Santa Justa station to Tocina stop. Check the current timetable before travelling.

Tocina and Los Rosales are in the Guadalquivir-Doñana tourist region. This places them within a wider tourism context; La Playita, the routes and the named buildings are specific points of interest in Tocina. When choosing the focus of your stay, you can distinguish this regional context from local attractions and decide whether to focus on nature, the cycling route, the Camino or local history.
