Then came the "Muñeca Regionales" or Regional Dolls series, which included eighteen couples from various Spanish regions, each standing 38cm tall. This series could be more easily compared to Lenci's folklore-costumed line in the #300 series.

A wonderful Geisha represents the "Muñeca Regionales," or Regional Dolls series. Elizabeth Schmahl Collection This girl doll comes from the Spanish municipality of Lagartera.
