Every year around 200,000 people walk to the Monasterio de Santa Faz on the second-largest pilgrimage in Spain. Starting at around 8am, the route wends its way along 8km of road from Alicante's town hall to the monastery.
Along the way, the people stop for the traditional paraeta, a breakfast of anise rolls and mistela wine.
At the monastery lies the veil with which Veronica dabbed at the bleeding face of Christ as he carried his cross to Calvary.
