Calle del Recuerdo ("The Remembrance Street")
It received this name because it was the only block that survived to a catastrophic flood in the city. Its residents want to leave it unchanged as a tribute to those who lost everything after this event.
Each building has tiles along the facade's lower walls in bright colors and dimensioned images ("Zocalos"). Many of the tiles are tied to the products sold by the shops, or the beliefs of the residents. Others are cultural images of the farming heritage of the community.

I hope you enjoy my photos as much as I enjoyed taking them. :o)
“Photography for me is not looking, it’s feeling. If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures.” Don McCullin (1935)
