Tripadvisors syn på omdömen
Innan det publiceras går varje Tripadvisor-omdöme genom ett automatiserat spårningssystem som samlar in information och svarar på följande frågor: hur, vad, var och när. Om systemet upptäcker något som potentiellt går emot våra communityriktlinjer publiceras inte omdömet.
När systemet upptäcker ett problem kan ett omdöme automatiskt avvisas, skickas till recensenten för verifiering eller granskas manuellt av vårt team med innehållsspecialister, som arbetar dygnet runt för att upprätthålla kvaliteten på omdömena på vår webbplats.

We visited Lanas del Rio recently. It is wonderful to see that both traditional craft and traditional engineering are both alive and well in this hidden corner of the Andalusian hinterland.
We were warmly welcomed by Paul and Dawn, the owners of the business, who voluntarily gave us a demonstration of the working loom and talked us through the end-to-end process. The passion they have for their craft and the pride in the products they produce was heart-warming.
And what outstanding products they produce. Their collection is simply wonderful.
We have enjoyed a memorable few weeks in Andalusia. And this visit remains one of our highlights.
My advice to you? Just do it.....

What an absolute gem of a place.
We had searched for high quality woollen blankets for quite some time before we were lucky enough to find Lanas del Rio, just outside the Pueblo Blanco fo Gaucin.
After a very warm welcome from Paul and Dawn, including a demonstration of the fantastic engineering of the looms, only to be then led to the most wonderful shop full of beautifully hand crafted woollen blankets, scarfs, ponchos and shawls.
An absolute gem of a place, with such skilled hand workers, producing high end goods. It's a visit must.... and a very interesting track to their idyllic riverside location.

My friend and I are both craft geeks, so we visited Paul and Dawn at Lanas del Rio with two teens in tow in the summer and it was a magical experience. The owners sent us easy to follow instructions as to how to find the place which is hidden away, well off the beaten track, and welcomed us with cold water, friendly greetings and a wall of sound from their local cicada population.
Paul showed us how his vintage looms and assorted machinery worked which was utterly fascinating, and we got to see it all cranking away, thanks to some handy ear defenders he loaned us to use. (Be forwarned looms are very noisy beasts.) It's a really rare treat to see kit like this not just in working order but making beautiful fabric, it's mysteries explained by a real expert.
Paul and Dawn design all the products themselves, favouring simple, elegant twill, herringbone or plain woven patterns that use colour sensitively. They work with a gorgeous variety of wool from all over the world, from Shetland wool for the warp threads to lush Spanish merino. The final products are stunning, a mix of elegant blankets, shawls ponchos and scarves, each one of them unique. I probably shouldn't say this but they're selling their wares for buttons. Throws that would cost hundreds if not thousands in chic city boutiques can be had here for around 100-130 euros. We ended up buying as much as we think we could get away with given the cost of hold luggage on EasyJet!

This is a working piece of history lovingly restored by Paul and Dawn.
A bit tricky to find but set in an idealic spot, so well worth it when you get there.
We are from Dobcross in UK and to see a Dobcross loom lovingly restored and working after 120 years is amazing.
The quality of the products they produce is superb, so if you just want a blanket or scalf check out their shop in the village.

Lo visitamos con mi marido Jonathan a fines de junio. El entorno, el trabajo de rehabilitación de un antiguo molino, la visita al taller donde tejen las prendas de excelente calidad, una charla muy amable con sus dueños Paul y Downe, mas un baño en el río, han sido unos de los momentos mas memorables de nuestro paseo por Gaucín. Mi marido a vuelto a llevar a unos amigos porque realmente merece la pena. En el centro de Gaucin ellos tienen su tienda.

Estuve el 6 de junio de 2020 con Paul y Downe, los dueños de Lanas del Río, en su local del centro de Gaucin, que ese día acababan de reabrir al público. Son encantadores y realizan con técnicas manuales y un telar del siglo XIX unas prendas de altissima calidad. He comprado una hermosa bufanda de cashmire y una manta para la cama. Artesanias como estas merecen nuestro apoyo, intentemos que no se pierda una técnica tan antigua heredada de generación en generacion. Gracias Paul y Downe!!! 😘

We only discovered the studio on the penultimate day of our trip to Gaucin. So glad we found it. The most beautiful throws and scarves. And a very warm welcome. Can't wait for chilly nights!

Visited Paul & Dawn in the outlet in the village. Having visited the fabulous mill a couple of years ago, it was great to see the wonderful blankets and woven products made from a variety if high quality wools. I have purchased 2 blankets one local wool and the latest purchase an alpaca wool blanket. Both will last many years. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

We have visited Gaucin a few times. This year we were lucky enough to visit the showroom of Lanas del Rio in town. Their woollen products are beautiful. Many various, creative colour ways and many different finishes. We bought scarves and a blanket. We also passed time speaking with Dawn who was so friendly and shared lots of details about the process and their adventures in bringing these beautiful products to life. What a special place. Don’t miss a visit!
