Like the legendary kiss between Brezhnev and Honecker, Valencia already has a mural that pays homage to love. It is one of the artistic creations that form part of the “Calle de Colores” (Street of Colours), an initiative by Valencian photographer Alfonso Calza that attempts to revitalise Calle Moret with several murals by different artists from the city. The one that attracts the most attention is one featuring a couple kissing in a London station. The idea of ??the promoters of the street is that people come to take photos of themselves kissing in front of the mural in a similar way to what happens at the Berlin Wall, where an image of Leonidas Brezhnev and Erich Honecker, the top leaders of the USSR and the German Democratic Republic, respectively, kissing on the lips in 1979 has become one of the most visited spots in the German capital. The creators of the “Calle de Colores” have also launched a campaign to find the members of the couple featured in the mural. All that is known about them is that they were at a London train station in 2012. The mural is accompanied by the legend “No kissing allowed.” More than 60 meters of art On the walls of the run-down Calle Moret, and even on the shutters of a nightclub, urban artists Zíngaro, Deih and Capiflex and painter Luis Lonjedo have participated in the project. The result is more than 60 linear meters of creation that conclude with the phrase “There are streets of passage and a street where everything happens.”
