Barcelona
embodies colors, the spirit of the artist Miró, Picasso, Dali and Gaudi, all of
whom lived and worked here. The city is one of my favorite spots in Europe, a
shopping paradise and art-lover's paradise. Bedazzled pleasures of modern
Barcelona, a lot of Barcelona visitors to the artistic heritage much older in Catalonia,
the city of the rural hinterland, including one of its deeply rooted
traditions: pottery.
Catalan ceramics (terrissa Catalan Catalan language), traces its legacy of
prehistoric times, through the wealth of high-quality sound Hotels in Barcelona in the hills along the Spanish coast in the north-east along the border with France.
Archaeologists have discovered fragments of pottery decorated with the year
7000 a few years ago. Iberian, Roman and, later, the Moorish craftsmen built
furnace fire jars utilitarian now thousands in the regional museums.
Traditionally fired clay pottery (el fishing in Catalan) on the part of rich
deposits in their own villages. They pieces by hand, based on wheels, fire and
high temperature, open flame of a long-life, waterproof shell perfectly suited
for the transport of water and oil, and serving food. Many Barcelona hotels were not to
show the natural color of the red clay. Others were deeply hued glazes colored
reflective cobalt, mustard, and deep green, sometimes left to run off in the
pages of decorative designs. Some of the most beautiful pieces of glass and
earth combined.
Today, a small appartments in Barcelona of artisans from the region confirms this ancient
tradition maintains coloured pots with the techniques and styles of their
ancestors. Most potters and use of electric furnaces wheels today, but somehow
in the nonmechanized Barcelona traditions. Two treaties jugs, decorative tiles and slabs
with conical lid of Catalonia-Mediterranean for most forms of product
characteristics today.
In total, the Catalan hotels is a great value for such a unique memory, it
difficult to find outside the region. Prices start at only dollars smaller
pieces, and get several hundred or unusual for large ships. It is more and more
money in the affairs of a retailer as a hotel of Barcelona, as you would in a
festival of pottery or workshop artisans.
