The Real Fábrica de Tapices still turns out handmade tapestries, many of them based on the Goya cartoons in the Prado. They are fabulously expensive, but the entrance fee is a bargain with the tour tracing the fascinating manufacturing process, barely changed in the three hundred years of the factory's existence.
