Discover the heart of the Barrocal region in this jeep tour from Tavira, where the mountain meets the sea, as we explore the rich tradition of ceramic craftsmanship that has shaped the culture of this beautiful area. This tour will take you to the historic Santa Catarina artisanal pottery, where you will learn about the ancient techniques used to create Terracotta tiles, also known as Tiling or Ceramic Pavements.
🌿 The Elements of Nature: Water, Clay, and Fire
Water, clay, and fire are the fundamental elements involved in the creation of these beautiful handmade ceramics. The process remains unchanged for centuries, with the artisans still using traditional methods passed down through generations. The raw clay is shaped by hand, then dried in natural kilns, and fired in wood-burning ovens, preserving the craftsmanship that has been the backbone of this region for centuries.
This experience will allow you to immerse yourself in the world of artisanal ceramics and understand the connection between nature and art that has made these handcrafted tiles a symbol of the Algarve’s heritage.
