Discover the soul of Andalusia through its masterful artisans featured on Homo Faber Guide. From Seville to Almería, passing through Málaga, Úbeda and many more Andalusian towns and cities, this immersive journey invites you to explore the region through its craft traditions. Meet master ceramicists, leatherworkers, sculptors and other artisans practising various crafts in their workshops, while taking in Andalusia's rich landscapes and historic architecture. Shaped by centuries of cultural exchange, Andalusia reveals itself through textures, colours and gestures rooted in Moorish and Spanish influences.
