La Jara, like all Toledo regions, preserves the remains of crafts which once provided its livelihood.
Many crafts are found in the region, sometimes overlapping between the various towns.
Many craftsmen have workshops for manufacturing and sales, but many crafts are produced by amateur craftsmen who know their elaboration techniques, such as that of wicker work.
Aldenueva de Barbarroya
One of the most characteristic activities of the town is embroidery. This is a high-quality femaly craft which, despite preserving certain characteristics of its own, has been commercialised together with other, better known designations of origin.
Calera y Chozas
One of the most remarkable crafts is painting on wood (clothes racks, napkin holders, trays), metal (milk pitchers, lamp stands) and fabric (lamp screens, t-shirts, cushions). Restoration of old furniture and felt accessories are other local products.
