Almonte is the town better known for the small village in its municipal district and to the south called El Rocío, home to the Virgen del Rocío which receives over a million pilgrims to her Ermita every May. Almonte itself has about 23,000 inhabitants.

The "Saca de las Yeguas" is an ancient tradition dating back to 1504, where over 1,500 semi-wild mares and foals are herded from Doñana's marshes to Almonte, Spain. This unique spectacle, held annually on June 26th, draws thousands as "yegüerizos" (breeders) guide the "troops" of horses through a scenic, marshy path.

There are several place in Almonte where Art exhibitions are held such as the Museo de la Villa, Centro Cultural de la Villa and the Santuario y Aldea de El Rocío
