Summary

Pilgrimages to Mount Ernio (Gipuzkoa) have a very extends calendar, wid espaces in which they are held and a numerous participation. They are as a vehicle for symbolic actions of popular religiousness, without church mediation; because Ernio´s sacredness resides in the mountain itself. The process of secularisation boosts its profane dimensions: the partaking of food, traditional dances and identification with nature; upright from other dimensions that are characteristic of acivil, ethnic and national religion.
