Nine paving stones: colours and how to combine them

Vetonek offers nine stones for cobblestone paving, from the lightest to the darkest: Frigiliana (white), Úbeda (golden), Valldemossa (grey), Santillana (reddish grey), Ronda (dark basalt), Granada (with green and ochre veining) and three multicoloured stones, Baeza, Córdoba and Grazalema. Here you will find what each one is like, which finishes it comes in, its starting price and how to combine them to create borders, bands or black-and-white patterns.

Prices per m² with VAT and shipping included in the price. Each stone's name is a tribute to a town or city famous for its cobbled streets (we tell the story in traditional cobbled streets of Spain); it does not indicate where the stone comes from.

Light and golden stones

Frigiliana cobblestones

A fine-grained leucogranite in very light tones that brings light to patios, porches and streets and makes sunny spaces feel cooler. It goes with any façade. Ask for a light jointing mortar or light sand.

Finishes: whole, sawn, sawn tumbled, split and split tumbled.
Price: from €98.11 per m².

Úbeda cobblestones

A siliceous-calcareous stone in a warm, very even golden tone: from a distance it reads as a continuous, bright surface. It is the stone for anyone seeking warmth and uniformity over large areas.

Finishes: whole, sawn, sawn tumbled, split and split tumbled.
Price: from €104.33 per m².

Grey and dark stones

Valldemossa cobblestones

A blend of natural stones in grey tones that fits any setting, from historic town centres to new developments. It is the perfect base for bands and borders with a light or dark stone.

Finishes: whole, sawn, sawn tumbled, split and split tumbled.
Price: from €103.55 per m².

Santillana cobblestones

It mixes dark grey, light grey and reddish tones in a balanced paving that is easy to integrate into urban and rural settings and hides everyday wear well. Spread the reddish cobbles by mixing several crates.

Price: from €149.80 per m².

Ronda cobblestones

Dark, dense volcanic basalt with plenty of character. Use it to draw borders, edges and patterns in bold contrast with light stones, or cover a whole patio with a calm, contemporary presence.

Finishes: whole, sawn, sawn tumbled, split and split tumbled.
Price: from €106.12 per m².

Multicoloured stones

Baeza cobblestones

Granite and basalt in highly varied colours: every metre is a different mosaic and the paving never looks monotonous. Mix cobbles from several crates without looking for any order.

Price: from €93.94 per m².

Córdoba cobblestones

Gneiss, granite and quartzite in highly varied colours, with the lively, handcrafted look of traditional paving. Lay out a metre dry before fixing to see how they combine.

Grazalema cobblestones

A blend of stones in several tones with a cheerful, handcrafted play of colours, for patios, streets and squares seeking character without losing harmony.

Price: from €95.88 per m².

Veined stone

Granada cobblestones

A biotite gneiss in green, ochre and white, with veining that shows above all in the sawn finish. For distinctive paving with nuances that change with the light; vary the orientation of the cobbles.

Finishes: whole, sawn and sawn tumbled.
Price: from €94.89 per m².

How to combine them

Combine stones in the same finish and of a similar size so the floor stays flat and the joints even; bear in mind that, as natural stone, sizes vary slightly.

Black-and-white patterns: Frigiliana (light) and Ronda (dark basalt), in the manner of Granada's black-and-white pebble paving. For that traditional feel, choose the whole finish, driven in on edge.
Borders on grey: a base of Valldemossa with bands of Frigiliana or Ronda.
Golden field with a dark edge: Úbeda for the main area and Ronda along the perimeter or the dividing lines.
Multicolour with a frame: Baeza, Córdoba or Grazalema for the field and a band of a more sober stone, such as Valldemossa or Ronda, to frame it.
Walkways and seating areas: the same stone in two finishes, for example sawn on the walkway and split along the edges (more in the finishes guide).

Before ordering, work out the crates of each stone separately with the installation guide. The full context is in the cobblestone paving guide.
