Surrounded by abundant creative inspiration, product names honor the history and daily life in the City of Motril, Granada Province, and the Andalucía Autonomous Community.
Aixa - Historically, Aixa was the name of a powerful queen in the Nasrid dynasty of Granada, known for her political influence and patriotism.
Aldaba - An Aldaba is a highly ornate door knocker, usually solid brass or solid iron. Very common ones here are the Hand of Fátima (La Mano de Fátima), which represents protection; and Lion's heads, indicating strength and power.
Alas - Alas means wings in English. The sleek, understated Alas bifold carries this name perfectly.
Candelón - This is the aqueduct at the entrance of Motril. Cars passing underneath in opposite directions must be very careful since it's quite narrow! From the 18th century, it still carries water from the Guadalfeo River to irrigate nearby crops in the southern part of town.
Quisquilla - Quisquillas are shrimp native to the Motril coastline. They are quite small and tedious to peel, but wow are they delicious!! They’re served as tapas in many restaurants in Motril.
Ragua - Ragua is the uppermost part of sugar cane. Sugar cane was an important part of Motril's history where it was produced for over 1,000 years.
Sabika - Sabika is the foundation hill where La Alhambra was built in the 13th-14th centuries.

Al sur del sur, Motril también es parte de la esencia de Granada. El balcón de la Reina Aixa con vistas al mar.
