When I compared Lisbon and Valencia for a trip in March, intending to focus on murals, I noticed that during
that month I stood less chance for rain in Valencia than in Lisbon. When I researched further I stumbled on
the Falls festival, that clinched it. Soon I had air tickets booked and a hotel. Besides the very, very impressive
Fallas festival (and murals) Valencia has of course much more to offer, e.g. historic buildings and the aquarium.

Exploring the streets of Valencia for murals, in El Carmen in particular.

Barrio del Carmen

When walking through Valencia’s Old Town, one of the first things you’ll notice is the abundance of street art.

There is an enormous variety among the Urban Art here

The Crab and the monkeys

Crumbling, neglected walls covered with colourful graffiti sit in contrast with grander buildings, cobbled streets
and pretty pavement cafes, making for an unusual atmosphere and striking sight.

Shops and garage doors are also decorated by street artists, on a commission most likely.

(Erasmo de Rotterdam 1466-1536)

Along the way, make sure to duck down any little alleyway that strikes your fancy and check around every
corner—you really never know where you might find the most amazing pieces of art.

Carrer del Pintor Fillol

Carrer de Roteros, came across a group cycling with a guide for the murals, I rather find my own way.

The end of my walk in the streets of El Carmen and beyond for the murals of Valencia. No doubt there is more..
