The over 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. For example, the ancestors of the current owners supplied bits and spurs for the 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 forging skills and manufacturing processes have been constantly refined. Even today, López combines modern manufacturing processes with traditional craftsmanship. Without losing the knowledge of craftsmanship, traditional products continue to be manufactured with high quality and contemporary variety.
