Zamora was a transit point on the wool route from Extremadura to Valladolid. It became a strategic enclave where an important textile industry specialized in wool with centuries of tradition would be born: the production of artisanal blankets from Zamora.
It has its origin in the repopulation of Zamora with people from various places after the Arab incursions. Among them stands out a large group of people from Palencia who settled in the northwestern suburb, outside the walls of the first walled enclosure of the city, organizing the wool spinning and weaving industry. This caused, some time later, a great development of the area that today is still identified as the La Lana neighborhood.
The wool is 100% pure sheep, and the manufacturing processes create a light fabric that retains heat, while being perfectly breathable.
