El Cabanyal is an old fisherman’s qaurter in Valencia in the eastern part of the city and close to Valencia’s main beach, La Malvarrosa. For me it was pure fun to wander around in this neighborhood. Small tiny traditional houses, eye-popping colors and tiled facades. Doors and windows in all possible shapes and colors that you can imagine. And if you look up: mention the impressive balconies. Indeed, El Cabanyal looks like a really open air museum and everything just feels so local and laid-back, far away from the Calatrava masterpieces which Valencia is also very famous for. Indeed,definitely, one of my highlights during my trip to Valencia earlier this year. Below, my photographic impression of my stroll through El Cabanyal.

This is my entry to Norm’s Thursday Doors Challenge
Stunning doors! So many secrets are hidden behind!
Definitely, nobody knows what is behind those doors:). Always interesting. This neighborhood breaths history, that’s for sure. Thanks for passing and leaving a nice comment:). Gr Stef
You are right! I’m attracted with doors too. In fact, a door means a passage. The point is where? I wish you more mysterious door photos!
Cheers! Maria
Beautiful shots. Love the architecture and the marvellous colours.
Thank you so much Don. The architecture in this neighborhood is outstanding:). Cheers Stef
Gorgeous photos.
Almost like doll houses, so cute
Hehe indeed. Thanks for passing by:)
Now I’m so sorry I haven’t been to Valencia yet.
Well, I really recommend Valencia:). Nice mix of old new and quite vibrant. Valencia is just cool, became one of my most favo cities in Europe. Gr Stef
Wow these are amazing. So much variety and colour. Thanks for sharing these 🙂
I’m glad you like them Norm:). Gr Stef
charming village with beautiful doors! 🙂
It’s indeed like a real village feeling in a big big city:). Gr Stef

Technically it’s indeed a passage, an entrance but means much much more. I am not that obsessed with doors, but with thanks to this wonderful photography I started to observe more houses and especially doors. Really fascinating. Next week (28sept) I’ll leave to Transylvania… more new doors soon:). Regards Stef
Eye-catching shots…very impressive
