The muleteers of Lagartera

Historical milestone · Lagartera, La Campana de Oropesa, Toledo

Image of Lagartera, not of the place itself.

Before embroidery became a professional trade in the 20th century, the economy of Lagartera depended on the loom and on muleteers, who traveled across Spain selling the cloth and needlework made by their women. From that network of itinerant trade came the fame of Lagartera embroidery.
