Highlight of our trip - After seeing the Alhambra, I could not stop wondering how the beautiful plaster work was created. Thankfully we found this tour and they accepted our next day booking. I'm so glad we did it! A true honor to meet and see the work of such great craftsmen and women up close and personal. So patient with all our many questions and a wonderful behind the scenes tour/demo. As a designer, I was so inspired. Also great to be able to purchase some gifts directly from the workshop. One of the most memorable highlights of our trip!

Amazing! - After visiting Alhambra we were mesmerized with the amazing craftsmanship of the plaster works and learned about this Taller, so we decided to visit it. The taller was definitely much more than what we expected and the visit was truly fantastic. The staff was very knowledgeable, passionate and friendly. We learned a lot about the process of creating different models using a combination of traditional and modern techniques. Highly recommended it!
