This shop-workshop, open to the public since the early twentieth century, offers a wide range of candles for religious, decorative or similar purposes, all made by themselves. The establishment was created by the uncles of the current owner, Luis Rocha, and knowledge of production methods has been passed down from generation to generation. They produce handmade paraffin candles, which are the most sought after, according to the traditional method of “diving”. The establishment has already been built, but the traditional method of manufacture remains unchanged to this day. It is very visited by the amount of candles hanging from the ceiling, which gives it a unique look.
