There are tours that are brought specifically to this business to showcase local artisan products…read morespecifically gold plated metal jewelry and forged knives. There were two artisan crafts : the intricate jewelry and a sword forging demonstration I saw the same designs of metallic jewelry at a gas station : identical packaging, price and heft, so it seemed like still something mass produced, but these bear a product stamp that certifies them as originally made in Portugal. Got a chef's knife and decorative handled knife for my son and son in law. Jewelry is also quite intricately crafted, inlaid or filigree style. A copy of your passport is useful for recovering the VAT tax refund if you can find one at the local airport, that is! I'll have to mail mine in, Munich did not process receipts from another country.

I visited Artesania Morales when I was in Toledo, Spain this month. I was looking for a unique and…read morelovely gift for my daughter-in-law. I had been attracted by some lovely bracelets in the display window. The shop employee who waited on me was very patient as she explained the procees of damascening and showing me machine-made and hand-made products. The machine-made bracelets couldn't even compare to the lovely delicacy of the hand-made bracelets. I absolutely fell in love with the bracelet I bought and foolishly didn't buy one for myself, as well as the one I gifted my DIL. Great quality, great service.

Toledo is a City full of knives, both physically and historically. So during Gayle and my recent…read moretrip to Spain, this is one souvenir that I really wanted. And if you show up here with a Rick Steves' Spain Tour Guide, there's a 10% discount in it for you. The Toledo streets wind around a lot and if you keep walking, you'll eventually find Mariano behind the counter of his long and narrow shop (with his workshop behind). It's right "behind" the Ayuntamiento/City Hall in a fairly nondescript store front. Judging by what's left of Mariano's hands and a few knicks I picked up along the way, his knives are very sharp. He was also very honest about materials, quality, and use of the various grades that he sells. A few of the knives defied my immediate sense of logic on how they worked, and Mariano was very patient and helpful in explaining the mechanisms. I gave up on one of them and figured that if I couldn't safety work the thing, I wasn't going to buy it. Gayle ended up purchasing that one for one of her sons who does have that skill. I was happy with a more decorative pocket knife choice with a nice 2-tone bone inlay.

An outstanding visit to a sword making shop. The owner took time to talk to us about swords and…read moreexplain how the swords were made, the significance of the metal being used and how the swords were used in the past. Fact I learned - swords made in Europe were prized for the hardness of the steel thus the blade is dull on purpose. Highly recommended taking a look at this store and buying a blade if it strikes your fancy. The skilled craftsmanship is on display as is the patient demeanor of the owner. It made my kid's day to see this shop!

On 10-14-2014 my wife and I visited this store while on a tour trip to buy an anniversary gift…read more There were two sales people, a man and woman, who said the man was her brother. She said we did not want jewelry from the bottom shelf, which was for tourists, but from the top shelf, which was handmade 24 carat gold. We bought a pendant for $250 EU, a matching bracelet for $650 EU, and matching earrings. Also a Muela knife for $83 EU. The total charge on Visa was $1018.50 EU. When we returned to the US our jeweler of 60 years told us the jewelry was nothing but gold plated costume jewelry. I mailed the jewelry back for a refund with a long letter. The merchant did not bother to pick up the package from Spanish customs. They told the Visa investigator they told us it was costume jewelry and that is why the price was so low! We were bilked out of over $900 EU by this merchant. William S. Hardman, Attorney at Law, Gainesville, GA USA
