“Horta i tradició” Photography Competition and Exhibition
Valencia’s huerta is a unique cultural and natural treasure. Weare deeply grateful to all the amateur and professional photographers who have helped capture the essence of this wonderful place in a photograph.
Through your work, you have conveyed the magic of Valencia’s huerta and its traditions. Every image has a story behind it, and it is an honour to help share those stories.
As an association, our mission is to help preserve, cherish and share our culture so that it always remains part of our roots. The “Horta i tradició” exhibition presented here is one expression of that mission.
“A people’s culture is its most valuable legacy, the source of its identity and a reflection of its soul.”

Alongside the physical exhibition, held at Alboraya’s Casa de la Cultura from 24 to 28 July, we created an online space where you can view the photographs selected for the exhibition. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
You can view the photographs at a higher resolution in the online exhibition galleries.
