Several generations of calasparreños have passed through his store.
"Las Sebastianicas" has the privilege of being one of the oldest shops in Calasparra.
Exactly 75 years selling yarns, wool, buttons, all kinds of haberdashery and corsetry items.
But also, in the beginning, perfumes, household goods and even jewelry.
Conchi and Antonia Martínez Ruiz, known as "las Sebastianicas" by their father, "El Sebastianico", opened the store on Lavador Street a few years after finishing the Spanish Civil War.
At first, as a perfumery, to end up being today a trade dedicated to haberdashery and corsetry, in the same place where it was opened 75 years ago and with the same exhibitors and furniture made, at that time, by "the Catalans ", some renowned carpenters from Calasparra.
Some of the furniture is older still, like the beveled mirrors and the marble piece of the counter.
They come from the old barbershop that, previously, the family had.
The store underwent many changes and even came to be closed for a few years.
Today, Angelita Moya Martínez, niece of those pioneering women who challenged the archetype of women dedicated exclusively to the home of that time, runs the business.
Now an exhibition brings us closer to this legendary business of Calasparra that 75 years ago opened the sisters Conchi and Antonia, now deceased.
The exhibition is organized by the family of "las Sebastianicas" and the Department of Equality of the City of Calasparra and is framed in the commemorative events of the International Women's Day 2018.
Inauguration: Saturday, March 3.
20:00 hours
Exhibition hall of the main street of Calasparra.
