This pilgrimage is old and has ceased to be made. But it was recovered in 1978 with the aim of claiming the rehabilitation of the place. During the eighties it became very popular.
The faithful leave Andratx (101m) carrying the image of the Virgin of the Roser, an eighteenth-century carving, normally deposited in the parish church of Santa Maria. The destination point is the hermitage of Son Orlandis (135m), at the top of the Penya des Corb, also known as Sa Tortuga, southwest of the town of Andratx.
Mass and lunch of brotherhood.
The chapel, in neo-Romanesque style, was built in 1935 on an old flour mill (now catalogued). The hermitage presents, inside, a decoration of religious scenes painted on Valencian ceramic tiles, made in 1950 by the painter Lluís Derquis. The complex is in quite poor condition and has been the subject of several acts of vandalism.
The last part of the route presents a processional path with five monuments dedicated to the Mysteries of the Rosary (with three images on tiles in each of them). From the top of the hill, where the chapel is located, you can enjoy good views of Port d’Andratx.
We don’t know of any.
