Toledo “gets long” to receive the Corpus Christi feast. A full programme of events has been organised to complete the procession that this year parades through the streets, under awnings and with the aroma of thyme and incense. On 4 June, 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.
Assembly of Corpus awnings in Toledo on May 21, 2014
Assembly of Corpus awnings in Toledo in 2015
As every year, several festive activities will be programmed 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.
TOLEDAN PATIOS
A very pleasant activity these days is to access the numerous patios in Toledo which, on the occasion of this festivity and the organised competition, are decorated to receive visitors to the city.
During the days of Corpus Christi, different activities can be carried out in these cozy corners scattered throughout the centre of Toledo. All the information on the official website: http://www.patiosdetoledo.es/
