The Triana neighbourhood in Seville is the ideal place to learn the secrets of the renowned Triana china. In these streets traditional pottery workshops can still be found. A traditional potter will help you discover the process for creating ceramics which has been pre- served over the centuries. Talavera de la Reina , in the province of Toledo, also has a long tradition in the creation of chinaware and tiles. For an in-depth study you should visit the collection of pieces from the 16th

century to the present day in the Ruiz de la Luna Museum . You can observe the process as it happens, and even try it yourself, on a visit to the Patio de ar- tesanos , inwhat used to be the cloister in the Monastery of Santa Catalina. Barcelona and Mallorca have histor- ically been major producers of glass- ware. Here you can visit traditional factories and learn all about the tech- nique of glassblowing.
