Rosa Porrino

also known as Porrino Pink Granite, Rosa Galicia, Porino Granite

Spain's signature pink granite from the Porrino quarries in Galicia, Rosa Porrino is a large-crystal biotite granite with a warm salmon-pink field. One of Europe's most productive granite deposits, it supplies large volumes of consistent material ideal for public plazas, building facades and luxury residential exteriors. Its warm tone and high polish make it a classical choice for prestige applications.

Good to know

Is Rosa Porrino available in large blocks for CNC milling?

Yes — the Porrino deposit is one of Europe's largest; commercial slabs reach 320x160 cm. CNC milling for complex architectural elements is standard from Galician quarry operators.

How does the colour hold outdoors over time?

Rosa Porrino granite weathers very slowly. The pink feldspar is UV-stable and the colour remains consistent over decades of outdoor exposure.
