The Pilgrimage of Manilva has a tradition of more than thirty-five years (do not know exactly from which year is being held). It has been held in different places of the municipality as: The Colony, tropical garden in the area of the quarry "Utrera", or at the farm known as the "tiznao" today, which for 17 years is held in the chapel "St. Adolf" in the bathrooms of the Stinking. This shrine, along with the surrounding land, was one particular named D. Ricardo Welin, that when he died, gave this land to the Parish SANTA ANA Manilva.
Since then cleaned up and maintenance of these lands is carried out by the municipality of Manilva, at the request of the Brotherhood of Our Lady of Sorrows and Ntro. Padre Jesus Nazareno de Manilva.
The Pilgrimage of Manilva is held the third weekend of May in honor of Our Lady of Fatima. Begins Saturday afternoon with the transfer of the Virgin, from the parish of Santa Ana, San Adolfo to the chapel at the Baths of Hedionda. It runs along most of the streets of the village accompanied by the sound of the drummer, (specifically brought from Seville for the pilgrimage) and followed by lots of people that accompany walk to the chapel.
The transfer of the Virgin is usually done at times in ox cart or a wagon decorated and pulled by a tractor. Once at the Baths is left in the chapel and pray the rosary and a hymn to the Virgin. Many people especially the young campers over the weekend near the shrine. Mounted a bar with tapas and brought a band that entertains on Saturday, until late in the morning, and Sunday from noon until the evening.

At Mass large numbers of people involved and not just the municipality. After the mass, the person will remain on campus for lunch (on tables that are on the premises either bring them) and have a nice day, happy and peaceful. Each year, the pilgrimage has the largest number of people coming to celebrate with all Manilva
