5 incredibly colourful streets in Valencia

1) Carrer de la Reina

A waltz down Cabanyal’s Carrer de la Reina reveals rows of old fisherman’s houses plastered in colourful tiles, from squares laid like a chessboard to chintzy florals to trippy geometric patterns. Not only did tiles let owners show their personalities, they also help protect buildings from the salty sea air.
