Juan Carlos Gozalbo Climent – Federico Gozalbo Llacer

DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK

Both Juan Carlos and Federico learnt the art of placing stone one on top of another and ended up making it their job for life. They have dedicated their life to the craft in a continuous way for over 20 years now. They work different techniques regarding the placing of stone (dry stone or using mortars) in constructions with different aims, such as retaining walls, dividing walls, and many others. Due to the current situation of the labour market, they now combine their work with the elaboration of closing elements and stone plaques for coatings, using the techniques of dry stone or techniques where mortars are used to ensure the assembly of one stone to the other. Like it has happened to other colleagues of theirs working in the interior areas of the Region of Valencia, their work is nowadays mainly carried out in areas close to the coast, since, for tourist reasons, the constructions carried out with these techniques are widely required in these regions. Their works are mainly located in the south of the province of Valencia and the north of Alicante, even if they have also carried out dry stone walls throughout the entire coast of Valencia.
