This seems to be the 19th occurrence of this event, at least as lacemakers are concerned. I think they changed their venue to combine with the general crafts fair a few years ago. It draws artisans from the Ferrolterra region of A Coruña in Galicia. Participation is broad, including lacework, patchwork, spinning and weaving, and many other arts. Aout 700 artisans are expected, and about 100 vendors.
