Horno de Cruz de Tea

This oven baked many roofs in the area.

What you have next to you was, approximately a century ago, the most important factory in the neighborhood.

Here tiles were made through an artisanal process that lasted several days. To make them, three elements were necessary: water, firewood and appropriate soil.

Several men participated in that hard work: the one who kneaded the clay, the one who shaped the tile and the one who moved it to the clothesline to dry in the sun.

Over time, in the second half of the 20th century the oven stopped being used and ended up collapsing. But for the neighbors, the tile oven was an important milestone in their history and they proposed its reconstruction. This was carried out in 2003.
