Rural Street Art in Fanzara
The few hours we spent in Fanzara were wonderful; street-art spotting is a lot of fun, and there were both huge murals that you couldn’t miss, as well as more subtle works of art that almost completely blend in.
Fireworks for the Opening Ceremony of the Ninot Exhibition for Fallas 2022
I always wanted to see fireworks at Calatrava’s City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia, imagining how spectacular they must look against the futurist architecture.
