Jarapa is a thick fabric of various compositions, used to make traditional rugs, blankets, bedspreads, curtains etc. in Almería and Murcia in the Spanish South East.

Manufacture and use are concentrated in the area of the Alpujarras. The material used in their manufacture is often recycled scraps from the textile industry of Catalonia further North.

With the evolution of the textile industry, materials aside from cotton such as polyester and other fibers are used, obtained from Cataloina and Alcoy.

In the process of production the remains of fabric used to make "tiras" is made use of to prepare balls of yarn to later make "churros" (a type of hank put into a shuttle to make a strip). Once the churros in the shuttle are moved to the loom, between the threads, the fabric starts to be made.
