Casa San Pablo is the home of clay storytellers. These are terracotta figures of people telling stories created by our innkeeper An Mercado Alcantara. Inspired by Mexican Cochiti pueblo clay storytellers and Peruvian clay tableaux, as well as our own colorful Tagalog tradition of palayok and papier mache figures for play, the clay storytellers represent characters in Filipino hometowns. They capture folk and religious traditions that mirror Filipino identity in a naïve and endearing way.
