Nijar: Barrio Alfarero (the pottery ‘district’), Dec 8
Información sobre el evento
Acerca de este evento
What a fabulous morning we have lined up for you!
Meet and take a short, historical walk with us to the oldest 'alferaria' (pottery) in Nijar, where you will not only get a guided tour (translated into English by us!) by the family who continue the tradition, but you will also get to sit and relax and paint one of their creations.
(We get this 'fired' and back to you as a memento)
See a wide range of work in esparto (a kind of strong woven 'rafia') before popping around the corner with us to see a loom in action, making the local 'jarapas' to an incredibly high standard.
There's every chance that at some stage you'll see potters at the wheel, and we'll end our morning in a fabulous historic location with regional taps, drinks and some gentle Spanish music.
Nijar has a magic, and for us this is a 'must see' if you're looking for something beyond simply the shops in the main street (although you'll have plenty of time afterwards to indulge!)
