PRE CONGRESS Route : 9, 10 and 11 September

 

Visits to Aragon and Valence regions: Mudéjar (Moorish), Aragonese and Valencian ceramics

It is a tradition at IAC’s congresses to tour major ceramic points of interest surrounding the country of the Assembly. In keeping with this tradition, we have organized both pre and post-congress routes intended to enrich your experience and appreciation for Spanish ceramic culture and history. These tours are outside of the basic program of the Congress and are paid for separately from congress fees by each participant. All transport, meals and accommodation are included in the fee of each tour (to be determined).
