Dear friends of lace and tradition! The countdown has begun for an event that, year after year, makes us fall in love with its threads of history and art. The XX Meeting of Lacemakers of the Villa de Quintanar is approaching, and with it, the opportunity to immerse yourself in the magic of this ancient art.
On April 6, 2024, Quintanar de la Orden, that jewel of La Mancha that hides stories and secrets in each of its cobblestone streets, opens the doors of its Municipal Pavilion, located on Anselmo Madero Street. From 10 in the morning until 2 in the afternoon, a feast of skills, threads and lace awaits us that will delight us with their mastery.
The event has the valuable collaboration of the Vallehermoso Encajeras Association and the enthusiastic support of the Quintanar de la Orden City Council, whose joint effort brings this celebration of tradition and good work to life.
Now, the visitor does not live on lace alone! Quintanar, with its historical legacy and monumental heritage, invites us to immerse ourselves in its charms. The Parish Church of Santiago de la Espada, from the 15th century, representative of the Gothic with Renaissance elements, the Sanctuary of Nuestra Señora de la Piedad, located in the old Jewish quarter, built on what was a synagogue, witnesses of times past, are only some of the treasures waiting to be discovered.
And for the most restless, the options are endless. Tastings of the exquisite gastronomy of La Mancha, walks through the squares and emblematic corners, and the warm welcome of the people of Quintana Roo will make this visit an unforgettable experience.
So, mark the date in your diaries! The XX Meeting of Quintanar Lacemakers of the Order promises unique moments, where tradition is intertwined with history in an embrace of threads and lace.
We are waiting for you, with all the love and enthusiasm!
