Dear friends and enthusiasts of the most deeply rooted traditions of our land! Today I bring you news that will fill with joy all those who love art, history and, of course, the wonderful traditions that make us feel proud of our identity. Prepare your calendars because next Sunday, October 6, 2024, Ocaña will host the IX Meeting of Lacemakers and Embroiderers! Yes, you read correctly, a day that promises to be unforgettable.
From the early hours of the morning, the Plaza Mayor of Ocaña, that imposing enclave that has witnessed countless chapters in our history, will dress up to receive lace makers and embroiderers arriving from all corners. This event, organized with love and care by our town council, has become an unmissable event for lovers of lace and embroidery, those tasks that with so much delicacy and patience have been transmitted from generation to generation.
Ocaña, with its rich history and monumental heritage, becomes the perfect setting for this celebration. It is not only an opportunity to admire the skill of our textile artists, but also to learn more about a town that has a lot to offer. I invite you all to walk through its streets and let yourself be enveloped by its charm.
How about we start in the Plaza Mayor? This jewel of the Spanish Renaissance, with its harmonious architecture and its impressive central fountain, will be the heart of the meeting. Here, between stands and live demonstrations, we can enjoy the work of the lace makers and embroiderers, true masters of their craft. And while we admire their creations, let's not forget to look up and contemplate the grandeur of the Torre de la Compañía, an indisputable symbol of Ocaña.
But our visit should not stop there. Let's take the opportunity to discover other charming corners, such as the Fuente Grande, a living testimony of 16th century hydraulic engineering. Or the Palacio de los Cárdenas, with its elegant Gothic-style façade that transports us to times of splendor.
And if art and history whet your appetite, don't worry. Ocaña offers delicious cuisine that you cannot stop trying. From the exquisite roasts to the typical sweets, each bite will be an experience that will complete your day in the best possible way.
