Custom shoemaking, leather goods and leather craft does not come much better than this – Spanish royalty seem to think so too. Guarnicionerie Lopez was established 1952 by Francisco Lopez Galan and is now run by grandson Paco Lopez. Incredible craftsmanship at (amazingly) affordable prices, definitely worth paying a visit if you are in Seville.
