About this tour
This walk looks at Ruzafa's murals and street layout rather than its market stalls. You see large-scale wall paintings and the tight grid of streets laid out when Russafa was still a separate village. It is a focused look at the neighbourhood's independent character.
I move along the grid at an easy pace, stopping at each mural in turn, and take your questions on the area's recent history throughout. Afterwards I send a short list of the streets we covered.
This suits anyone interested in contemporary street art or how a former village becomes a city neighbourhood. It also pairs well with a session on Benimaclet for a fuller picture of Valencia's absorbed villages.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
- Internet connection
