Toledo Corpus awnings
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.
Next May 31, the city will once again celebrate Corpus Christi, its largest festival, only on Thursdays, as was the tradition. Several years ago the “additional” Sunday procession was eliminated.
