Poetic Ruzafa Walk: Discover a Barrio in Love (Six Poems & Street Corners)
Details
A perfect post-holidays detox activity for you and yours!
How do we fall in love with a city, someone, each other, ourselves?
The relationship between architecture, memory, and desire is the subject of this guided walkshop through Ruzafa, both the imaginary barrio and a real neighborhood.
in city mazes we count on love
to find each other in the dark
to thread a path one poem at a time
Poetry in translation. A city in motion. You, in love.
A perfect autumn afternoon activity. We'll walk the (un)familiar streets and pause to read/recite/write poems. How many ways can you meet a poem or a lover?! You'd be surprised...
We'll start outside the Parc Central at 15:00 and finish around the Mercado de Ruzafa by 17:30-ish in time for your evening plans.
This walkshop experience is free. The host will pass a hat at the end for welcome donations, but the point is to enjoy every step 'n story as we become a walking poem.
