Cerámical Artistica Salitral

San José


A long-standing, oversized ceramic store and pottery workshop on the curving country road from Santa Ana to Salitral. There are some great finds here, particularly the candle holders and masks, and the store occasionally offers private pottery lessons (call for details).

The shop is 2km south of Herm gas station and 100m south of Abastecedor La Gloria paper goods store, Santa Ana.
