This colorful mural of the female form was across the street from the Valencia Joaquin Sorolla train station. While the climate of Valencia was beautiful on its own, it was surprising to see such a colorful mural when stepping outside.
The apartments – design, height, color palette – seemed standard from the building I saw during the trip.
After living in New Mexico’s climate for most of my life, with brief periods in Central California, I know why the Spaniards made their home in these North American areas – It reminded them of home.
(And I have no idea why the generative AI made that cover image. Blame Skynet.)
