Shoe production is a tradition that goes back to the 19th century, when the first workshops appeared, and which became industrialized and took off throughout the first half of the 20th century.
In Villena, as in other towns in the Vinalopó valley, all kinds of shoes are produced, although our city particularly stands out for the production of children’s shoes, with companies that have been suppliers for several royal households, including the Spanish court.
