Raúl is an artisan specialised in paving with Cordoban pebbles. He makes pavings with natural stones and also does typical Andalusian pebble mosaics and paving restorations.
The craft of paving and decoration with Cordoban pebbles is centuries old, with a technique inherited from Roman mosaics, except… that river pebbles are used instead of tiles. The craft is the same today, though for a time the difficulty of the technique caused it to become lost.
Cordoban pebbling provides not just beauty but also a pleasant cool sensation thanks to the materials’ properties, along with high impact strength.
As well as pebbling, Raúl makes ornamental borders, tiled paving, coats of arms and assorted rustic pavings: old brick, rustic red stones, rectangular cobbles or stone blocks.
Raúl learned the trade very young, by family tradition.
