Last October we went looking for granite & marble for our La Estancia home at
Marmolería Psenda on Avenida de Chile in Salta city.
Foolish as we are, we decided to walk from the center of town. It's a long walk, especially the return. We enjoyed it because of things to see along the way, including the dry river, which is now now deep & brown. Friends in Salta tell us this summer has been awful: it's been raining every day for two months.
At Psenda, we chose granite for the kitchen & laundry, marble for the bathrooms, but we weren't excited about our choices. We like the large swirly patterns. Psenda doesn't carry them.
Earlier this week in Buenos Aires, at Florencia Chapar's suggestion, we took a taxi to the 7400 block of Avenida del Libertador where
marmolerías appear every few store fronts.
Forte dei Marmi carries not only the
Verde Alpe marble we'd already chosen at
Ragolia for the bathrooms, but also the magnificent
Ekos Chocolate granite for the kitchen & the simple
Kashimir White granite for the laundry.
