Reality window, Orihuela
To the north of Orihuela, a charming town in the Segura valley, Alicante, we find the neighborhood of San Isidro. A very special neighborhood. Special because the neighbors go about their daily lives surrounded by large murals painted on the walls of their houses. More than a hundred paintings that the City Council restores from spring to spring. It all began with a heartfelt tribute, in 1976, to the great poet Miguel Hernández, born in Orihuela, who died with impunity in a prison during the Franco dictatorship. Many of the murals are accompanied by beautiful verses. The walk through its steep streets becomes a very colorful and, at times, militant pleasant route that draws our attention to real and very current social problems.
