This September 28, 2024, the town will dress up to receive the XIV National Bolillo Lace Meeting, an event that promises to be a meeting point for lovers of this delicate and beautiful craft.
The National Bobbin Lace Meeting is much more than a simple event, it is a celebration of the tradition, dedication and mastery that surrounds the art of bobbin lace. This type of lace, known for its complexity and elegance, has a long history dating back centuries, being one of the oldest ways of making lace by hand. In Hinojosa del Valle, this tradition has been preserved and honored over the years, and this meeting is the perfect occasion for both locals and visitors to appreciate the talent of lace makers from all over Spain.
Hinojosa del Valle, a small municipality in the province of Badajoz, stands out not only for its rich history, but also for its natural and architectural charm. This event provides an ideal opportunity to get to know this jewel of Extremadura up close. One of the most emblematic places in the town is its parish church, dedicated to Our Lady of the Angels, a construction that dates back to the 16th century and stands out for its Gothic Mudejar architecture and its beautiful tower. In addition, the natural environment that surrounds Hinojosa del Valle invites visitors to enjoy quiet walks and moments of peace in contact with nature.
The meeting will take place on the town's covered sports court, a space that will be filled with life, colors and textures with the most exquisite lace from each participating region. The date, marked on the calendar as September 28, 2024, promises to be a day full of activities where you can watch live demonstrations, exchange knowledge and purchase unique lace pieces.
