More about the rugs Are you trying to buy online rugs or carpets that have a natural style look and feel? Perhaps area rugs, hearth rugs or carpets with a soft and deep weave? Or a large rug? And in neutral colours that will complement stripped wood or tiled floors and will add warmth and comfort in the winter?
Made to a high quality standard specified by The Magic of Spain these rugs are available in very limited quantities. Because of the time it takes to make each rug and the small capacity of the workshop where the rugs are made supply to The Magic of Spain is currently restricted to a few hundred rugs a year. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

“Rug making there (in Andalusia) is a cottage industry and the process of hand looming and finishing is fascinating to see. This unique style of weaving rugs to recycle cotton off cuts has developed in isolation and is different to any other I’ve come across. It’s been passed from generation to generation for hundreds of years."

Skillfully handcrafted Each rug is skillfully handcrafted in Andalusia using the traditional methods that have been handed down from generation to generation. This means each rug is individually made. No two rugs look exactly the same so please be aware that yours may differ slightly from the photographs.
As you can see from the photographs in the slide shows above the rugs have a deep weave. They are soft to the touch and are ideal for natural floors such as terracotta and stripped floorboards, giving warmth, comfort and some sound insulation.
The main style has a natural off-white hue and the rugs are about 1.5 cm thick. The other style has very subtle light brown stripes across.
The art of rug making was originally brought to Spain by the Moors around the 10th century and this style of rug making developed in the villages of Andalusia. With bitterly cold winters in the mountains the rugs provided warmth and comfort in the tiny village houses that were otherwise pretty spartan.
