The Courtship's destination is the Basilica of Santa Maria del Pi, going through the Cathedral Avenue and the streets Joaquim Pou, dels Sagristans, dels Capellans, dels Arcs, de Cucurulla, dels Boters, de la Palla, del Cardenal Casañas and d’en Roca. On this street the greeting to the image of Sant Roc, installed there in a niche, is held.
