Toledo “gets long” to receive the Corpus Christi feast. The City Council has organised a full programme of events to complete the procession that this year parades through the streets, under awnings and with the aroma of thyme and incense. On 30 May, the city will once again celebrate Corpus Christi, its biggest festival, only on Thursdays, as was the tradition. Several years ago the “additional” Sunday procession was eliminated.
Mounting the Corpus awnings in 2015
During these festivities there will be two large spaces for activities such as the Historical Case and the fairgrounds of La Peraleda, where the large musical performances will share space with the various and numerous Culturel events planned for these days. The City Council has highlighted three main groups of activities for these dates:
- Music concerts.
- Religious activities.
- Activities in the processional route and old town.
If you want to visit a Toledo perfumed, festive, decorated, with thousands of people crowding its streets, restaurants and hotels, visit the city these days.
