Check out the independent ‘NOVEDADES CASINO’ shop that is now based in the hip barrio of Ruzafa. Here is a place that gives you hope that not all shopping areas in Valencia are going to be engulfed & swamped by soulless multinational chain stores and tourist trap souvenir shops.
The idea of the shop was created by Pablo Casino, the informed owner who can always be found here. He has put together old posters and books and photographs from today and yesteryear. He pays special attention to Valencian iconography that is both local and popular, without forgetting material that reflects the intense changes that the city has experienced in different epochs.
You can really refresh your memory here as well as connecting to the present, whilst enjoying the display of old posters and graphic pieces as well as contemporary photography, illustrations, stamps, books and the work of local artists. This is a space that is a mixture of gallery, a curiosity shop and a souvenir shop. Only if you visit in person can you truly appreciate it. This is the real deal…
