Casa El Valenciano

At the end of the 19th century, Valencian merchant Salvador Deltell set up this store on Calle de las Tenerías (a tenería is where hides are tanned), now known as Ribera de Curtidores. Initially, the store sold uniforms, military supplies and saddlery, and it is now focused mainly on equestrian goods.

The Deltell family continued to run the business until the end of the 20th century, when the López family, who also boast a long-standing lineage of tanners, saddlers and suppliers to El Valenciano, took over the business.

El Valenciano currently has two stores on Ribera de Curtidores itself: No. 37 is dedicated to equestrianism and No. 16 to leather goods. The items available for purchase in their stores include riding boots, horse tack, saddles and horse health products, as well as a wide variety of leather bags and accessories.
