We spent a little over a week driving up the Mediterranean coast of Spain stopping briefly in a handful of different cities and towns. We visited the Picasso Museum in Málaga (the city where he was born) and the new Centre Pompidou satellite there as well as a series of impressive Roman and Moorish ruins. But in addition to these more obvious attractions, we found a surprising amount of interesting street art in 3 of the cities that we visited. We’re not sure of the explanation, but at least in Cartegena there was a shockingly large number of abandoned and partially demolished buildings, providing a rich canvas (albeit a very visible scar of the financial crisis). In Cartegena in particular, there were many free standing facades where the supporting building had already been torn down but new construction had halted (or was never started). We have included a couple of pictures to illustrate this – the effect when walking around the city was rather strange, almost like a partially constructed movie set.
Wow, looking so cool!! Enjoy 🙂
Love the “Gentrificacion” one. Is there a second panel where the Newton’s cradle comes back to hit the painter?
No, but there really should have been. It was just next to the dead deer in spotlights. Still don’t understand the meaning of that one.
Intriguing street art! But I also saw the 1,20 € Choco Extrem pastry but I won’t comment on that other pastry in your Valencia photo in the Food section.
Haha, that’s great, “Fartons”. We were so focused on the cheap price that we didn’t even notice the name.
