It's Wednesday. It’s a perfect day for a walk, for #WednesdayWalk. I haven't been able to post anything on this topic of walking for the last two weeks, but I'm here now. With one walk in the small town of Altea.
The city has two parts, one older part, with old houses in the centre. The other part of the city is a newer part, with a different set of streets and buildings. Mostly newer buildings of a couple of floors, some parks, squares and schools.
I walked there about ten days ago, I don't remember the exact day. There was almost nobody on the streets, it was about noon and strange that no people, no cars passing by.
Wondering there, I passed a high school. At least, I heard some voices from the school, so it was a sign there are still living people here. The wall of the school is high, concrete. Not to be such an ugly empty concrete wall, some paintings adorn that wall.
The wall is long, so I tried to take photos from this angle, to see as much as possible. But there will be some details shown too. Like you saw in the cover photo, a hand. Also some other details.
A mountain can be seen here in the background (a mountain that is surrounding the town). Also the sea and some buildings. So the new part of the town representation.
The hand we already saw... I see it as a helping hand that can take the whole town and take care of it...in some magical way. But there is also the dome of the church from the old part of the town, the smaller houses and again the sea, pebbles and sun :)
The message of this would be: keep listening to some great music :)
Fish... Altea was a town living from fishing before tourism came into action. It is good to remember the old good profession that sustained the settlement during centuries.
Small detail :)
That was the blue part of the wall, here from the other side
In that particular moment when I was taking those photos of the blue part of the wall (there is one other part also, green, that you will see in a few moments) a train passed right there.
First you would say just a train, nothing else to see on it. But then I noticed that it was painted also, just a perfect match to the wall with those graffiti on it.
Green part of the wall:
As I mentioned, the other part of the wall is painted with green colours.
Maybe as a brief reminder of agriculture, and that we should not neglect it. Behind the town, in the valley of the mountain, there is a part with orchards and gardens. We often walk there, it is nice to see that there are still those who take care of the gardens, although many orchards have been abandoned.
I don't know why some details are painted upside down.
Cute cow, isn't it?
That was all for my #WednesdayWalk tour, showing a painted wall of a high school. All the photos were taken in Altea, Spain. Thank you for your time and that you accompanied me on this walk.
