Understated, with a touch of warmth. Santillana cobblestones mix dark grey, light grey and reddish tones in balanced paving that is easy to blend into urban and rural settings, never tires over the years and hides daily wear well.
It is a mixed natural stone in dark grey, light grey and reddish tones, in the form of natural stone cobbles, supplied in 4 finishes: sawn, sawn tumbled, split and split tumbled.
Benefits
Natural colour: its reddish grey tone comes from the stone itself, with no pigments to wear off.
4 finishes of the same stone: combine them to set apart walkways, edges or borders.
Very durable: well-bedded pebble paving lasts for generations and can be repaired in sections.
For private customers and professionals: courtyards and entrances, as well as projects by architects, local councils and landscapers.
Shipping included in the price: crates of up to 1,200 kg with transport included in the price.

Approximate sizes in millimetres (for whole cobbles, largest diameter; for the rest, base × height). As natural stone, every piece is different.
Sawn: the cobble is cut across the top to leave a flat surface that is comfortable to walk on; the best choice for squares, pedestrian streets and urban settings.
Sawn tumbled: sawn and then tumbled: a flat surface with softened edges and the look of worn stone, ideal for renovation.
Split: the cobble is split to reveal its inner face, irregular and textured; a rustic, aged look with good grip.
Split tumbled: split and then tumbled: softened edges and the look of old pebble paving, the most rustic in the range.
Installation and tips
Excavate and compact the base well; for vehicle traffic, lay a concrete slab.
Spread a mortar bed or, in light pedestrian areas, a sand bed.
Bed the cobbles with a rubber mallet: whole cobbles driven in on edge and packed tight; sawn and split cobbles with the visible face up, levelled with a straightedge.
Fill the joints with mortar (rigid paving) or sand (flexible paving).
Clean the surface before the mortar hardens and allow it to cure before opening to traffic.
Vetonek tip: spread the reddish cobbles over the whole surface by mixing several crates, so the warm touch stays even rather than patchy.
Format and shipping
Sold by the crate of up to 1,200 kg; the m² in each crate depend on the finish and are shown in the Packaging option.
Shipping is included in the price.
Unloading at the destination must be done with mechanical equipment (forklift, crane or loader), as each crate weighs over a tonne.
This stone is supplied sawn, sawn tumbled, split and split tumbled. Sawn cobbles leave a flat, comfortable surface, the best for high-traffic areas and urban settings; split and tumbled versions give a rustic, aged look.
How many m² and kilos are in each crate?
It depends on the finish: between 9 and 10 m² per crate, always up to 1,200 kg, with a consumption of 120 to 130 kg/m². The exact figure is shown in the Packaging option and in the finishes table.
How many m² do I need?
Measure the length by the width of each area, add up the areas and add 5-10 % for piece selection and finishing. Divide the total by the m² per crate of the chosen finish and round up.
How is it laid?
A mortar bed (or sand in light pedestrian areas) is spread over a well-compacted base and each cobble is bedded with a rubber mallet: whole cobbles are driven in on edge, and sawn and split cobbles are laid with their visible face up, levelled with a straightedge. The joints are then filled and the surface is cleaned.
Is it suitable for cars?
Yes, cobblestone paving is a traditional surface for streets and driveways. For vehicle traffic, lay it on a concrete slab with a mortar bed and mortar joints, never on sand alone, and confine the perimeter well.
Does it withstand outdoor use and frost?
It is natural stone designed for outdoor use. In frost-prone areas, installation is what matters: a sloped base to drain water, mortar suitable for outdoor use and well-filled joints, with no gaps where water can collect.
Mortar or sand joints?
Mortar for rigid paving with vehicle traffic or heavy footfall; sand (or stabilised sand) for light pedestrian areas and gardens, where a permeable, easy-to-repair surface is wanted.
Why does the tone vary, and can I combine it with other stones?
As natural stone, each cobble has its own colour and veining, and there may be differences between crates: mix pieces from several crates when laying. You can combine it with other stones in the same finish to create bands or borders, bearing in mind that sizes vary slightly.
