Back to Valencia

I returned to Valencia at the first opportunity in spring 2007 and (as well as photographing dusty old shops and architectural typography) I realised my ambition to watch a game at the Mestalla and got caught up in a demo in the old town.

It was at this point that I hatched the 'draw in every town in La Liga' idea, but where to go first? I remembered watching Arsenal being beaten twice by Valencia in 2001 and 2003 and thinking, as the crowd waved white hankies in the Mestalla that this would be a great place to watch a game. So purely on this premise I packed my laptop, camera, sketchbook and some pritt stick and set off to Valencia in December 2006.
