Illustrated Streets
Who is Guillermina Medrano? And the author dies?, in short. Who are the characters that label our streets? From the historical toponymy of the medieval city to the one that began to take shape in the mid-nineteenth century and has reached our days, the city of Valencia offers in all its neighborhoods a complex corpus of names in the list of streets from which we can reconstruct a large part of our common history.
Illustrious of our streets, doctors, painters, politicians, actors and saineters. Great strangers who nevertheless swell, with their moms labeled in monotonous plates, our daily lives. Names acquired by repetition that deserve to be rediscovered. That is the idea, to make Valencia and its urban heritage, our streets and neighborhoods known, in an entertaining and educational way.
