Santiago de Compostela in three stores

La Barakita: another enclave with a history in the Rua do Vilar.

Sargadelos Gallery: whether modernity is fleeting, transitory or contingent, the movable art generated in the Sargadelos factory and sold in this gallery of Rua Nova can only be called vanguard of the best kind: one that when it reaches its objectives, It dissolves between permanent normal and so familiar as we watch the sun rise in the west. What is to become a lifetime. The project that gave birth to the Marquis of Sargadelos in the nineteenth century to industrialize northern Lugo met a whole new life in the second half of the twentieth century with the direction of intellectual galeguista Isaac Diaz Pardo. Sargadelos ceramics, now extended north of A Coruna also bet on an original design inspired by the designs taken routed such with abstract-geometric motifs of Romanesque and Galician Baroque, or ways that, somehow, keep a parallel with the formal symbolism of Romanesque art.

The result is a fine quality ceramic, distinguished, original without being gaudy and linked to the affection of the people. Be a loving symbol of Santiago and Galicia.
