Potries

La Safor is water, fertile land and culture, and if any town can amalgamate these three elements, it is Potries. It is not in vain that it has one of the most carefully preserved living heritages of water.

Visitors can enjoy an educational route through the dividers, ditches, irrigation channels and mills. And from water and earth, from clay, comes one of the most characteristic traditions of the town: pottery.

In the past, many families in Potries used to make clay pots and utensils to sell them. Nowadays, the municipality has restored the house-workshop of the last potter, Ángel Domínguez, to convert it into an ethnographic museum. Culture can be breathed in its network of historic streets and buildings linked to the most important dynasties of the Valencian Renaissance, such as the current Town Hall which joins the Borja and Centelles houses, and to the cultivation of sugar cane.

The region keeps an annual appointment with Potries for its Porrat de Sant Blai, where from the youngest to the oldest enjoy the tradition and the best Potries gastronomy.
