Taller De Artesanía - Arte en Piel

My neighbor recommended this craft shop, so we stopped today when we drove to the Valle to swim.

Arte enPiel has been known for years for its hand-made shoes and leather goods of a special kind.

If you walk from the beach at Casa Maria up to La Calera, you will pass the leather workshop with the sign "Arte en Piel".

The workshop with an attached shop is located in a pretty little house between cultivated fields on the road.

If you have always wanted to wear hand-made shoes, this is the right place for you. Leather sandals or closed shoes are made to measure.

However, you shouldn't wait until the second to last day of your vacation in Valle Gran Rey to visit the friendly shoemakers, the shoes are made individually and take about 10 days.

Perhaps one of the shoes that have already been made and are on display in the shop will fit. Or how about a good leather belt or bag?

By the way, Are en Piel does not see itself as a repair shop: hiking boots or broken high heels will not be mended here.Read more
