LITTLE SHOP OF TREASURES

Leather, honey, wood, oil, cotton, almonds, beeswax, merino wool - artisans have been using the bountiful local resources to create exceptional products for centuries in the Serranía de Ronda, but finding them has been something of a challenge - especially for passing visitors. Now it's got a whole lot easier, thanks to La Donaira's Gerhard 'GG' Bodner who has not only been working to bring La Donaira's own produce to market, but has collaborated with the finest local talent in neigbouring fields, towns and villages to hone and design a veritable range of organic and handcrafted desirables. Inaugurated with a party on December 1, La Tienda, housed inside La Posada in El Gastor, is a small but perfectly formed treasure trove of gifts. Open on Thursdays 10:00-14:00 or by appointment latienda@ladonaira.com.
