The mayoral is a shepherd who is in charge of taking care of a flock
The concept of mayoral is used with reference to a foreman , a manager or a boss . The term can be used in different areas.
Different applications
The foreman of an agricultural holding is the one who is in charge of directing the rest of the workers. It can also be the shepherd who is in charge of caring for the flocks. You can also take care of horses and cows.
In a sheep herd, for example, the foreman directs the entire flock , ranking hierarchically only below the owner. Each flock , in turn, has a specific manager (known as rabadán , who may be responsible for more than a thousand sheep).
The head of a crew of reapers or diggers , the one responsible for the government of the team of animals in a carriage and the one who collects alms or tithes can also be called mayoral. In ancient times, according to the Royal Spanish Academy ( RAE ), the term also referred to the individual who managed an almshouse or a hospital .
A textile company
Mayoral , on the other hand, is a textile company based in the city of Malaga ( Spain ). With children's clothing as its main business, this company is present in seventy-five countries and has 10,000 points of sale worldwide. These are just some of the numbers that make them stand out in their market.
Among its activities, this company is dedicated to designing, manufacturing, distributing and marketing articles in the textile field. It all began in 1941, when "Domínguez Toledo" was founded, the first company in the Malaga municipality of Yunquera to produce and market stockings and socks. Three decades later, “Mayoral Moda Infantil” was born, the most important entity of the group that we know today.
It is a family business, but this has not prevented them from expanding throughout the map, reaching countries as diverse as France, Russia, the United States, China and Colombia , among many others. Mayoral is living proof of the power of determination, responsibility and good decisions , as important to reaching heights as to sustaining oneself in the most difficult stages and managing to move forward.

Mayoral Gallery
Manel Mayoral's activity in the field of art and antiques began in 1979, in the city of Tarragona. There he opened a store dedicated precisely to the marketing of antique objects and, later, to the exhibition of paintings. Almost a decade later he traveled to Barcelona, where he soon opened the gallery that bears his last name. It was the starting point for other projects, which were possible thanks to the success it achieved in the Catalan capital.
The Mayoral Gallery specializes in both historical and contemporary avant-garde art. Regarding its collaborations, we can mention that it has a presence in different fairs in Europe, among which are the following: Fira d»Antiquaris Barcelona, Fieriarte Madrid, Art Madrid, MiArt Milano, ArteFiera Bologna and Art Cologne . On the other hand, we must mention the exhibitions that have taken place there, with names as prominent as Picasso, Dalí, Miró, Botero, Appel, Tàpies, Chillida and Barceló . As can be seen in this list, Mayoral opens its doors to notable names from the past as well as the most prominent artists of the present.
