Why is indigenous design

Luxury hotels that maintain techniques (canyís, pedra en sec, lime) and commission pieces from artisans on the island, although the sources do not name the workshops.

For the project

Ask Bastidas and the hotels for a list of artisans (who wove the headboards, who made the canyís): basis for a “hotels with craft” guide.
