These lovely, hand made Aguayo tiles are made in the Dominican Republic and follow the techniques originally introduced by the Arabs throughout the Iberian Peninsula during the eighteenth century. I think they are completely delicious and would love to put them anywhere in my house. The technique they use is so authentic, the tiles have been used in the restoration of many historical sites in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, the Colonial City, and the Dominican Republic! They are made of cement, sand, powdered marble, and mineral pigments and are often laid as a mosaic to create full beautiful patterns. They seem to be having issues with their website, but they are available locally through Complements Tile and Ceramics in Mt Pleasant.
