Valencia is home to a number of unique shops selling a variety of odd and interesting items. From a shoe store with an oven baking fresh cookies at the register, to entire stores dedicated to hand-made stationery. Earlier we featured a Pirate Supply shop. Some of the stores are clearly trend setters, the type of places that inspire similar creations in other cities and countries years later. Here are photos from some of our favorites including The Curiosity Shoppe, Viracocha, Paxton Gate, and Paxton Gate’s Curiosities For Kids.

Winner of the And/or Book Award 2010 for photography, given by the London-based Krasna-Krausz Foundation. “In addition to revealing the rarely-seen mechanics of its manufacture, Burtynsky captures the effects of oil on our lives, depicting landscapes altered by its extraction from the earth, and by the cities and suburban sprawl generated around its use. He also addresses the coming “end of oil,” as we confront its rising cost and dwindling availability.” More info via his website. His work is featured in the documentary Manufactured Landscapes. images.
