But before we dive into the details of this exciting event, let me take you on a journey through time to discover the historical treasures that Valmojado has to offer us.
Known as a town with a fascinating past, Valmojado welcomes us with open arms and invites us to discover its historical monuments that attest to its rich legacy.

Although it was renovated and expanded in the last century, the primitive building dates from the late 1,1th century and early XNUMXth century. In addition, we cannot fail to mention The Five Fountains (Quinque Fontes): Caño Fresco, Caño Indiano, Caño de la Teja, Caño de la Salud and Caño de Méntrida. Five underground journeys, one of them XNUMX km long, whose waters have been documented for eight centuries.
But let's return to the present and focus on the exciting activities that await us during the VII National Meeting of Bolillos Lace Makers. In addition to admiring the talent of lace makers from all over Spain, 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 Valmojado can enjoy activities such as guided tours of the historic center, tastings of the delicious local cuisine and walks through the beautiful natural landscapes that surround the town.
In summary, the VII National Meeting of Bolillo Lace Makers “Villa de Valmojado” promises to be an unforgettable experience for all those who wish to immerse themselves in the beauty and tradition of this Toledo land.
