Today we want to share with you our wonderful trip to Valencia, to tell you about our experiences and discoveries made in this vibrant and history-rich city.

An Immersion in the Sensations of Valencia

Valencia welcomed us with a riot of colours, smells and sounds that awaken the senses. The streets were alive with traditional music, while the smell of the sea and the famous Valencian paella permeated the air. Every corner of the city told a story and invited us to discover more.

Artistic Discoveries: Botijos and Socarrats

During our stay, we had the opportunity to discover unique pieces of art, such as “botijos” and “socarrats”. Botijos are traditional ceramic water containers, known for their ability to keep water cool even on the hottest days. Each botijo ​​is a work of art, decorated with patterns and colors that reflect Valencian culture and tradition.

Meeting with Artesania Yuste

One of the most memorable encounters was with the craftsman Yuste. The son of the well-known Enrique Yuste carries on the family business with passion. His dedication and skill are reflected in every piece he creates.

We had the honor of purchasing some “ socarrats ” directly from his workshop. Socarrats are ceramic tiles traditionally used to decorate Valencian homes. These pieces are particularly special not only for their beauty, but also for their history. His mother, Africa Yuste, continues to hand paint these masterpieces, signing each piece with her name. The socarrats we purchased bear Africa's signature, adding a personal and authentic touch to our discoveries.

Bringing a Piece of Valencia to Your Home

We are thrilled to be able to share these treasures with you. Every botijo ​​and socarrat that you will find on Vicode tells a story and brings with it a fragment of the beauty of Valencia. We hope these pieces will enrich your homes as much as they have enriched our experience.

Our trip to Valencia was an unforgettable adventure, full of artistic discoveries and meaningful encounters. We invite you to visit our collection on the website and be inspired by the beauty and tradition of this splendid city.
