Image of Biar, not of the place itself.

Since the Middle Ages the pottery workshops of Biar have supplied jugs, wash-basins and large storage jars to the inland comarcas, using the clay of the municipal area and the firewood of the sierra. There are still kilns that fire in the old way and sell piece by piece.
