Amazon’s ‘The Handmade Tour’ gives people a chance to rediscover Spain in areas including Axarquia

THE firm Lilian Urquieta, from La Herradura, has been selected by the distribution company Amazon to be part of ‘The Handmade Tour.’ A whole ‘showcase’ to rediscover Spain, of which only six national firms are part, on a journey through some of the most precious places in Spanish geography by local artisans.

For this, in addition to personal testimonies, workshops and products, as well as its natural environment … the promotional initiative is added to the photographs and portraits captured by the objective of the prestigious photographer Paco Marín.

The Handmade Tour tries to allow customers to get to know or rediscover a little more closely some of the selected local artisans, in this case, Lilian Urquieta, and their products that are currently part of Amazon Handmade.

The firm Lilian Urquieta, made up of Lilian and Iñaki herself, began its journey in 2008 in a small store in La Herradura. Today it is a nationally recognised firm and proof of this comes, among others, in this recognition.

In all of them, customers will be able to get to know a little more closely some of the local artisans and their products that are currently part of Amazon Handmade.

We are committed to empowering artisans, sharing their products and telling their personal stories. We celebrate each of the different manufacturing techniques used by artisans, from traditional to modern, ”explains Katie Harnetiaux, Global Head of Amazon Handmade.
