Bailén, a name that resonates with clay throughout Andalusia
In Bailén, clay has accompanied everyday life as much as the olive grove. For generations, the town’s potteries supplied the region with orzas, lebrillos, chamber pots and pitchers, a repertoire of red earthenware designed for cooking, preserving and serving. That tradition — domestic, robust and highly functional — explains why the name of Bailén resonates with pottery across Andalusia. Today, the City Council promotes its preservation and dissemination, and the city has leapt onto the contemporary scene with CERAMIBA, an international fair-competition that обновes the gaze without losing its roots.
