The more than 160-year history of Frenería y Romanas López

Frenería y Romanas López is a craft business founded in 1850 and based in Cortegana, Andalusia. The town is known for its many traditional craft businesses, which primarily serve the agricultural production in the region. The ancestors of the current owners supplied bits and spurs for local riders. At López, the love of craftsmanship and the secrets of producing high-quality metal goods have been passed down from father to son for five generations. Over the centuries, the blacksmithing skills and manufacturing processes have been constantly refined. Even today, López combines modern manufacturing processes with traditional craftsmanship. Without losing the craftsmanship knowledge, traditional products of high quality and contemporary variety are still manufactured.
