EL MOLINO DE VIENTO: That means “windmill” in Spanish, of course, and we know that this fine maker of leather goods isn’t pulling a Don Quixote on us, since his factory is in Toledo, which has a whole lot of beautiful windmills dotting the area. The Spanish have always been great at leatherwork. Often overlooked, because of the long reign of Gen- eralissimo Franco, when trade with Spain was at a nadir. Fortunately times have changed, and we have easy access to their fine wines, ceramic and leatherwork. Comparable to the Italians in every way, except price! You’ll love these beautifully hand-made and finished leather wares.
