Paellas y Coches by Ricardo Cases is a vibrant and deeply personal exploration of one of Valencia’s most cherished social rituals: the Sunday tradition of driving out to collect a freshly prepared paella before returning home to share it with family and friends. What might appear at first glance as a simple culinary custom becomes, through Cases’ lens, a fascinating portrait of identity, landscape, and collective memory. For generations, Valencians have embraced the ritual of “going to pick up the paella by car,” travelling to restaurants in the surrounding countryside, coastal areas, or around La Albufera, collecting their pre-ordered rice dishes in traditional metal containers, and bringing them back home for a communal meal. In Paellas y Coches, the automobile becomes more than a means of transport; it is transformed into a cultural symbol, linking people, food, territory, and tradition. Cars loaded with oversized paella pans, families gathering in parking lots, and the distinctive scenery of the Valencian landscape all become essential elements of this uniquely local ceremony. What has always distinguished Ricardo Cases is his remarkable ability to document the customs and eccentricities of the Spanish Mediterranean with an authenticity that feels both affectionate and incisive. Few photographers have captured the character of the Levante region with such consistency and visual intelligence. His photographs reveal the humor, beauty, and peculiarities of everyday life without resorting to caricature, allowing seemingly ordinary moments to become compelling cultural documents. The book combines Cases’ unmistakable use of color, sharp observation, and playful visual storytelling to create a work that is both documentary and poetic. Beyond its immediate subject, Paellas y Coches becomes a reflection on belonging, regional identity, and the rituals that quietly shape communities. Like the best Photography Books, it elevates the familiar into something extraordinary, preserving a tradition that continues to define Valencian life. An essential title for collectors of contemporary Spanish photography, Independent photobooks, and Photography Books focused on vernacular culture, Paellas y Coches stands as another brilliant example of Ricardo Cases’ talent for transforming local customs into universally engaging visual narratives. For enthusiasts seeking Collectible Photobooks that celebrate the richness of everyday traditions, this volume remains one of the most distinctive photobooks devoted to modern Mediterranean culture.…
