What you’ll find

What Casa Museo Guadamecí Omeya is known for

Master artisan Ramón García Romero revived the lost Umayyad technique of gilded, polychromed guadamecí here, and the house doubles as a museum of his large-format leather panels. A shop sells pieces worked in the caliphal manner, and guided visits trace the craft from raw hide to metal-leaf finish.
