The hills of La Loma and, concretely, the cities of Úbeda and Baeza have a big concentration of artisans workshops. This is the consequence of the influence of different cultures: Arabic, Mudejar and Renaissance cultures, which were developed in this places for years. Most of the Workshops are familiar ones because they have passed the handicraft tradition from parents to sons.
If you want to buy a handicraft product, you can do it directly in these workshops or in one of the establishments of souvenirs you will find walking around Úbeda and Baeza.
