Abstract


The recent economic and cultural development of Albarracín, a town located in the Spanish province of Teruel, has been driven by the tourist trade, which has grown thanks particularly to its architectural heritage, one of whose most prominent features is the salmon-hued plaster exteriors of its buildings. Following secular regional tradition, plaster is manufactured in domed furnaces. The resulting laboratory tested product is suitable for use in exteriors. The present article contains a summary of the manufacturing procedure and a report of the results of the laboratory tests.
