Dear friends and bobbin lace enthusiasts! Get ready for an event that is coming with the charm and elegance of the most authentic Seville. This coming October 6, our beloved city will be the epicenter of the XV National Bobbin Lace Meeting, which will be held in the majestic Exhibition Casino. What better way to start autumn in the Andalusian capital!
From 9:30 a.m. to 14 p.m., the Exhibition Casino will become a vibrant mosaic of threads and creativity, where bobbin lace lovers can delight in an unparalleled display. And not only that, but the event will have a very special exhibition: “Commemorating Velázquez on his 425th anniversary”, in which you can admire bolillo flamenco shawls, a fundamental piece in the traditional Sevillian costume. A true luxury for the senses!
On Saturday, October 5, you can also enjoy a unique preview: from 10 a.m. to 13 p.m. and from 17 p.m. to 19 p.m., the public will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the art of bobbin lace and appreciate the mastery of the artisans. And on the big day, October 6, the event will last from 10 in the morning until 13:45 p.m., culminating with a parade at 12 noon that promises to be an unforgettable spectacle.
But, dear readers, Seville is much more than an event. It is a city that overflows with history, culture and beauty. Taking advantage of your visit for this event, I encourage you to discover the magnificence of this city that makes you fall in love with every corner. Stroll through the Real Alcázar, an architectural jewel with centuries of history and patios full of magic. Or perhaps they are drawn to the majestic Seville Cathedral, with its watchful Giralda that has witnessed the city's great events.
And if we talk about tapas and good times, you cannot miss the Barrio de Santa Cruz, with its cobbled streets and its bars that serve the best portions of Iberian ham and spinach with chickpeas. Without forgetting the Plaza de España, a place that is not only an emblem of Seville, but also an ideal setting for a photograph that immortalizes your visit.
So, friends, not only come to enjoy the XV National Bobbin Lace Meeting, but also to let yourself be carried away by the charm of Seville. We are waiting for you with open arms and with the best bobbin lace you have ever seen! Let the party begin and long live Seville!
