XVI Meeting of Lace Makers “Ciudad de Bolaños”

This meeting, which is now in its sixteenth edition, is a perfect opportunity to admire the skill and dedication of our lace makers, who keep alive a tradition that dates back centuries. Bobbin lace, a true jewel of our craftsmanship, is a legacy that passes from generation to generation, and at Bolaños we live it with pride and devotion.

But it is not only an event to enjoy the work of the lace makers, but also to immerse yourself in the history and charms of our town. Bolaños de Calatrava, with its imposing Doña Berenguela Castle, is a place steeped in history. This castle, which dates back to the 13th century, has witnessed numerous battles and has stood the test of time, becoming one of the main monuments of the region. You cannot help but visit it and feel that mix of power and mystery that emanates from its walls.

Another obligatory stop is the Church of San Felipe y Santiago, a magnificent example of Gothic architecture that transports us to another era just by crossing its doors. And, of course, after a good walk through the old town, there is nothing better than relaxing in one of our bars or terraces, enjoying the local cuisine. Don't forget to try the delicious Almagro eggplants, which are also a specialty here in Bolaños.

So now you know, on Friday, September 6, you have an unmissable appointment at the XVI Meeting of Lacemakers “Ciudad de Bolaños”. An event that is not only a celebration of tradition and art, but also an excellent excuse to rediscover the historical and natural treasures of Bolaños de Calatrava. Don't miss it, it will surely be a day to remember!

See you there, looking forward to enjoying and sharing our roots and culture!
