Miami, FL March 2017 – Tile of Spain, the association of Spanish ceramic tile manufacturers, recently debuted new product collections at CEVISAMA 2017, the International Ceramic Tile Fair, in Valencia, Spain.

With matte and non-slip finishes, it is porcelain stoneware of great graphic variation that imitates the natural stone with inserts of corals and fossils.
