Puebla de la Calzada, a hidden treasure in the province of Badajoz, becomes the epicenter of a celebration that pays tribute to one of the most delicate and beautiful arts: bobbin lace.

But before we get into the details of this wonderful event, let me share with you a little of the history and charm of this picturesque town. Puebla de la Calzada, located in the region of Lácara, ancient land, owes its name to its connection with an ancient Roman road that crossed the region. This town, which has witnessed countless events over the centuries, invites us to discover its charms through its historical monuments.
One of the main attractions of Puebla de la Calzada is its impressive Parish Church of Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación, whose imposing presence dominates the town's skyline. This architectural jewel, built in the 15th century, is a reflection of the religious and cultural splendor of the time.
But let's return to the present and focus on the exciting activities that await us during the IVth Bolillos Lacemakers Meeting. In addition to admiring the talent of local lace makers, visitors will have the opportunity to participate in workshops where they can learn the secrets of this ancient artisanal technique. In addition, those who wish to explore the surroundings of Puebla de la Calzada will be able to enjoy activities such as hiking trails, guided tours of the historic center and tastings of delicious local cuisine.
In summary, the IVth Meeting of Bolillo Lace Makers in Puebla de la Calzada promises to be an unforgettable experience for all those who wish to immerse themselves in the beauty and tradition of this ancient land. So mark your calendars, get your bobbins ready, and join us in this celebration that honors art, history, and community. See you in Puebla de la Calzada on April 13, 2024!
