Tim Rayborn asked the following:

In short, where would this feast have been celebrated, if the
movement was not popular in Spain (rather, it was an embarrassment),
and if it was unknown elsewhere? Where did you find the reference?
Anyone have any ideas?

It turns out that Alfonso the Great, king of Leon in the late ninth
century, sought the relics of Eulogius and Leocrizia. More unusually, in
858, two monks from St-Germain-des-Pres, Odilard and Usuard, went to
Cordova in search of relics; at their monastery, we know that the feast
was celebrated in the tenth century.
One way to trace the cult of these martyrs might be to trace the
manuscript tradition of the works of Eulogius (cf PL 115) and Paul Alvarus
(cf PL 121); this might indicate an interest in the authors' holiness as
well as in the content of their writings.
Idle thoughts...
