Man! What do you say to me? We are at the doors of the XVI Meeting of Lace Makers in Peñaranda de Bracamonte, that corner of Salamanca that seems straight out of a story. Save the date: September 28, '24, from 10 a.m. to 13:30 p.m., in the emblematic Plaza de España. I'm serious, if you have even a hint of curiosity and like the authentic, you can't miss this date. And, friends, it is not every day that you have the opportunity to witness an event as traditional and full of art as this one.
The lace makers, those masters of thread and patience, will be there giving it their all, showing us how they skillfully thread the bobbins to create authentic works of art. This is not just an event; It is a living tribute to a tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation. Of course, the occasion deserves to be celebrated, not only for the show itself, but also because it is a perfect excuse to drop by Peñaranda de Bracamonte, a town that hides gems that you cannot miss.
Peñaranda is not only famous for this event, but it is a site with a rich history and monumental heritage that will leave you speechless. The Parish Church of San Miguel Arcángel, with its imposing Mudejar tower, is a good place to start your visit. Built between the 12th and 15th centuries, it is a living testimony of the mix of styles that have passed through this land, from Romanesque to Gothic. And if you're into walking through history, you can't miss the Plaza Mayor, a unique architectural complex that will make you feel like you're in another era.
But that's not all. The House of Art, also known as the Palace of the Eagles, is a mandatory stop. This Renaissance building, converted into a cultural center, hosts exhibitions and events throughout the year. A luxury for the senses! And if you are a food lover, take the opportunity to taste the typical dishes of the region. From a good hornazo to local sausages, which when paired well with a local wine, will make your palate thank you.
So now you know, September 28 is not just any day. It is the perfect opportunity to enjoy a unique event, soak up culture and tradition, and discover a town that has a lot to offer. Because Peñaranda de Bracamonte is not only the place where the lace makers are found; It is the place where history, art and tradition come together.
See you there, with a smile and the desire to have a great time!
