Hi Allegro! I chose "folk style" because it fits exactly the description - "maderas y forjados típicos de la zona". Enjoy your Sunday afternoon! :-) Deborah

I looked up the different solutions in WordReference for translating the term "artesanal" and "forjados" and came up with this.

Rachel Fell
: yes, the typical local bit is important in the meaning, and good/high standard of workmanship and characteristic nature are implied - handcrafted alone might sound a bit ambivalent in Eng., I think

Artesenal implies earthy crunchy and close to the earth, if you get my drift... indigenous often works in this context
