A weathered black and white poster on a wall featuring text and images related to bullfighting, including a matador and a bull, with the words "Valencia," "Diego," and "Camino" visible. The poster is partially torn, revealing layers of older posters beneath. The top of a tiled roof is seen at the bottom of the frame, and the edge of another building is visible on the right.
