Directorate General of Tourism and Handicrafts, awarded in 2013 a total of thirty-five new cards for artisans in the region,
which highlights the importance of this sector in our region. Among the new artisans are renowned traditional crafts like
embossed, woodwork or pottery.
In addition, the Ministry has recognized five handicraft workshops in our region dedicated to activities such as pottery,
woodwork, embroidery or leather. Joining them were also recognized a total of seven artisan shops dedicated to trades such as
shoemaking, bronze, embroidery, leather goods, ceramics and soaps.
The granting of the cards and the recognition of the workshops and craft shops by the government of Castilla-La Mancha is a
mark of quality and good work for both industry professionals and consumers, since in this way craft products ensures that all
standards meet when necessary processing.
The new craft will this year be able to enjoy the new location of the Regional Craft Fair (FARCAMA) in the Alcázar of Toledo,

Finally, we must stress the importance of the artisanal sector of Castilla-La Mancha has as an engine of regional economic
development, as well as treasure of enormous cultural significance as a guarantor of our traditions, common intangible heritage
and, ultimately, be a key sector to attract tourism.
