Botijo

Clay water container

A botijo, also called búcaro in Spanish, càntir in Catalan, canabarro in Galician, txongil in Basque, and boteja in Hispanic America, is a traditional porous clay container designed to contain water. The botijo, or water jar, is a typical element of culture in many parts of Spain and may vary in shape and color. Although the botijo can, exceptionally, also be found in glass, metal or even plastic, it is usually and traditionally made of clay, due to the properties of this material, such that, once the botijo is filled, it cools the water that it contains, acting as an evaporative cooler.
