Grafiti tour and Carmen Quarter

Graffiti tour and Carmen Quarter  - 3 hours - The graffiti tour is something new and interesting, moreover in the Carmen neighborhood there are many pieces by well-known urban artists. This has always been a bohemian quarter where most of the gills in Valencia were located. Urban art has been transformed over time, going from being considered "vandalism" or clandestine, to being one of the most appreciated forms of modern art. It is a popular art and in many cases ephemeral. We will see the so called now "the Street of the colours" the photograph of a Kiss. This is well-known as street Moret, where several pieces of street art are represented on a wall 60 meter long, -the mystery of a Kiss- like for instance you will see the tiny Haus of the Cats, you will also see where artists such as Escif, la Nena, Julieta, Deih, Xelón, David de Limón, have left a trace of their talent. Apart from seeing graffiti you also will see buildings or places of interest, like the remains of the Arab wall.

Its name is probably due to its location in the northest of the city centre, making it the entry point for the royal road that connected Valencia with the region of "els Serrans". (10 min)
