Street art, Granada

Granada: Street Art

Street art, GranadaIf you’ve been reading along for a while now, you know that I love street art.  I’m not a fan of the scribbles and tags most people would consider graffiti–I want something with a little effort beyond petty vandalism with a sharpie.

Most people visit Granada for the Alhambra, and rightfully so.  I’m not suggesting you visit Granada solely for their impressive Street Art.  However, the juxtaposition of a palatial fortress of such grandiosity with the city’s appreciation for their own Street Art culture is pure aces.  Something typically viewed as a banal inconvenience, is actually seen as inspirational.  Well done Granada, and thank-you!

The artistry was refreshing smattering of small, silly or edgy pieces right through to large scale beautiful murals  We were lucky to see several walls by Granada’s very talented and most ubiquitous street artist is Raúl Ruiz in both Granada and Seville.  (More on that to come.)  For now enjoy these little bits and bobs from around Granada.
