Casa Hernanz. El Madrid del yute y esparto | #AntiguosCafésdeMadrid

Antiguos Cafés de Madrid has visited perhaps the oldest espadrille shop in central Madrid to tell its story. Casa Hernanz, on Calle de Toledo, is famous today for selling espadrilles, but it was also famous for being one of the most famous rope shops in central Madrid, selling all kinds of items used in ancient farm work. Casa Hernanz is one of Madrid's centuries-old businesses and is located in one of Madrid's most touristy neighborhoods, next to the Plaza Mayor. Madrid's history has changed a lot, but there are still establishments like the one we show you in our video today. Today, the story of Casa Hernanz: a rope shop, an espadrille shop that still sells jute and esparto grass items. The Antiguos Cafés de Madrid YouTube channel is an extension of the blog "Antiguos Cafés de Madrid y otras cosas de la Villa" (Old Madrid Cafés and Other Things About the City), where you can find articles and reports about a #Madrid that no longer exists, but that lives on through the history of its cafés.
