AbstractThe equity representations of religious festival held in Huelva (Spain), on the occasion of the transfer of the image of the Virgin of Rocio seat of the county between August 2012 and May 2013 forms the basis of this reflection.

Reading the geographical links between heritage and forms of dissemination (media and tourism), led us to develop the concept of “geoeducation”. Structured from the phenomenological perspectives of geographical readings provided by Dardel (2011) and Relph (2012), the “geoeducation” emerges not as a formal model to generate the sense of festive places rituality.
