Crafts, entrepreneurship and visibility for women from the mountains of the Serranía de Ronda
On 27 June 2026, Atajate will host ‘Hecho por Ellas’ (Made by Them), a craft event created to highlight the work, talent and entrepreneurship of women artisans from the Serranía de Ronda area.
This initiative, funded by the State Pact against Gender Violence and the Ministry of Equality, aims to highlight the fundamental role that women have historically played in artisanal trades, a task that for a long time has remained in the background despite its enormous contribution to the economic, cultural and social development of our towns and villages.
‘Hecho por Ellas’ will bring together several entrepreneurial women from the region who have turned crafts into their profession and way of life.
Through different exhibition spaces distributed throughout the municipality, the participants will showcase their techniques, materials, and creations, allowing visitors to experience firsthand the value of traditional and contemporary crafts.
Among the participating artisans we will find jewellery made with wire, creations made with esparto grass and other plant materials, artistic pieces made with resins and proposals based on natural elements and wrappings, among other initiatives that reflect the creativity and artisanal richness of our area.
The event will take place between 11am and 1pm and will feature different exhibition points spread across several locations in the municipality, such as El Porfánco, the municipal washhouse, the town square and the park area, creating a route that will allow local residents and visitors to discover the female talent present in the Serranía de Ronda area.
The town hall in Atajate invites everyone to participate in this event, meet the artisans, support rural female entrepreneurship, and share an experience that celebrates the role of women as creators, entrepreneurs, and transmitters of knowledge and tradition.
