El Cercado
El Cercado, Nueva Esparta, Venezuela
Description
In the heart of Margarita Island, El Cercado is one of those towns that carry their art in their hands. With a pottery tradition stretching back several centuries, much of its population is devoted by family inheritance to shaping clay using ancestral Indigenous techniques, firing the pieces with firewood just as their forebears did. From its soil come white, black and grey clays that turn into dishware, jars and objects that travel across all of Venezuela. Recognized as cultural heritage of Nueva Esparta, El Cercado is a connection point between the island's artisan memory and the rest of the country.
That pottery identity, passed down from generation to generation, keeps El Cercado in constant exchange with those who seek its pieces at home and abroad. Tealca offers different options to make secure shipments to El Cercado, both domestic and international, so that every package reaches this Margarita town with the trust of always. With years of experience and a solid logistics network, we accompany this community of artisans, connecting it with the rest of the country and the world in every parcel it receives.
