Festival of the Virgin of the Crosses in Daimiel

Come see us at the Festival of La Virgen de las Cruces in Daimiel! Every September 1, the inhabitants of the town of Daimiel meet to celebrate the festival of our patron saint: The Virgin of the Crosses . As with any other patron saint, we Daimieleños dedicate this entire day to venerating the virgin that we welcomed several centuries ago, and behind Daimiel’s relationship with his patron saint, there is a legend of the history of the Virgin of the Crosses that, according to the official page of the brotherhood of the Virgin of the crosses, says like this:

“A very young man, a resident of Moral de Calatrava, was on his way to a flour mill to grind wheat sent by his father. As he passed by the place where the Sanctuary is located, the mule he was leading stumbled and fell to the ground, breaking the vessels where he had deposited the wheat and water to drink.
Such was his anguish that he asked the Virgin Mary for help, who appeared, comforting the creature; She worked a miracle, which was to grind the wheat and load it into new vessels. The Virgin only asked the young man to go to the nearest town to request the construction of a temple in that place in her honor. To do this, the young man approached Torralba, but seeing that they did not pay attention to him, he went to Daimiel, a town that believed the boy and fulfilled the Virgin’s wish.

After the appearance of the Virgin and the erection of the first hermitage of the Virgin of the Crosses of Daimiel , devotion to the Virgin of the Crosses became very popular among the towns. For this reason, and after the explanation of the reason for the veneration of the Virgin of the Crosses , on September 1, multiple activities dedicated to the virgin are prepared. Among these activities we have:

The beginning of the day with the making of the floral carpet, in which anyone who wants can participate, followed by a solemn religious function and a subsequent procession to the virgin. The current image of the Virgin, (we say current because there was one prior to the civil war now lost) is a carving of what is believed to be dark wood, which classifies it among the black virgins.

If you want to enjoy these festivities of the Virgin of the Crosses in Daimiel to say goodbye to the summer and spend some pleasant days, you can sleep in our Manuela Hotel , an accommodation with all the comforts you may need and with a restaurant where you can enjoy a Exceptional traditional La Mancha gastronomy.
