Samaca 49 is a popular slate from Maria del Carmen quarry in the town of Ultimoreo, La Baña in Northern Spain.
This slate has been used extensively around the UK since the 1980’s. With a rugged textured surface and heavily dressed edges, it has a rustic appearance. One of the few quarries to still be hand split and sorted means this slate is available in a wide variety of grades, thicknesses and sizes.
Approved for use in Snowdonia National Park due to its similarity to Ffestiniog Welsh Slate.
