Festival flags from Hospital de Órbigo

[Kasee]

I was walking through Hospital this morning and the streets were festooned with hundreds of gorgeous medieval flags. Looks like they’re having a festival soon.

The stores were closed, so I don’t know if the flags were available for purchase anywhere in town. Does anyone know if they can be purchased online? I would love to have one.

Kasee,

The flags are indeed handsome. Perhaps you might ask the local tourist bureau
if /where/how you can buy one.

A local festival is currently on these early days in June.

the 2023 Hospital de Órbigo Medieval Jousts
The celebration of the XXVII Medieval Jousts of Passo Honroso will be the weekend of June 3 and 4, 2023 at Hospital de Órbigo. A very colorful party that has its main course in the afternoon of the last day. The little ones love to see everything that is assembled in the camps and in the medieval market. They recommend going dressed in the period.

The festival is going to involve a medieval market. Maybe they will have them there.

Unfortunately, we are in El Acebo already with no way to return. I’m still hoping to find them online somehow.

Not an answer to the OP question but a local news website has an article with many photos of the event. Looks like fun!
