Teachers in Xàbia turn iconic 'blue door' green in education protest
Teachers and families paint Xàbia's emblematic blue door green in response to Conselleria de Educación policies.
The famous ‘blue door’ of Xàbia, one of the most photographed tourist icons in Marina Alta, has temporarily changed colour. Teachers and families have transformed this emblematic spot to green as an act of protest.
The action responds to what protesters call the “door-slamming” by the Conselleria de Educación, referring to decisions affecting the Valencian education sector. The education community has chosen this tourist symbol to give visibility to their demands.
The door, located in Xàbia’s well-known coves, attracts thousands of visitors each year seeking to capture its characteristic Mediterranean blue. The colour transformation seeks to draw attention to teachers’ demands in a context of educational mobilisations.
This protest forms part of a broader conflict with the regional education administration, which has prompted various demonstrations and visibility actions by the Valencian teaching community.
