Artesanía de Galicia

Crafts of Tui

Tui combines traditional Baixo Miño crafts with contemporary textile, leather, wood and designer jewellery. Several workshops carry the official Artesanía de Galicia seal and open their doors to visitors.

Crafts also take to the streets during the May craft fair and at Mercarte, the pop-up initiative promoted by the Concello.
