GRAZALEMA. MuseUMs
Grazalema’s important textile industry thrived during
the early and middle 18th century, with the famous cloth
trade of the town leaving it mark on the fabric of the region’s
culture, economy and history.
To record this apogee in Grazalema’s culture, the
Museo de Artesanía Textil was founded, where you can
see Grazalema’s textile industry at work, if in diminished
form, more or less as it was when its cloth trade flourished
in the earlier half of the 18th century.

El Ecomuseo
|
| |
El Ecomuseo is located in the old mill
of the Nacimiento (birth, or source) of Los Capitalistas,
situated on the banks of the río Majaceite.
Its setting, therefore, offers diverse attractions
to the visitor: the source of the river itself and the
starting
point for the hiking path that follows the route between
Benamahoma and El Bosque, an antique ‘batán’,
a hydraulic industrial textile-cleaning apparatus, now
converted into a fish tank, and the actual mill itself,
which houses the Ecomuseo.
Alongside is a fish farm where you can buy locally
bred trout. The museum collection includes milling machinery
and other related industrial artefacts
