Casa-Museo Blasco Ibañez
C/ d'Isabel de Villena, 159, Poblats Marítims, 46011 València, Valencia
Beachside chalet of a novelist, once nearly sold to cover a ruinous Argentine colonization scheme.
This guide to the Casa-Museo Blasco Ibanez in Valencia follows the novelist from his beachside chalet on the Malvarrosa, where he argued politics with friends until dawn, to Argentina in 1909, where he bought land along the Parana River and recruited hundreds of Valencian families to farm it as tenants. It traces the stalled irrigation and the bank collapse that drained his fortune, and the moment he ordered this very house sold to cover the losses. His wife refused to sign.
