Spanish street art

Originally I was going to upload these images to the post about the trip to Spain, but it quickly became clear that there were just too many and deserved their own post. So here goes, some photos of the street art we saw in Alicante and Valencia.

The first thing that grabbed my eye in Alicante with regard to street art is that there was a lot of it on objects that were not very aesthetic to begin with. Things like garage doors and recycling bins had been painted and had become something that highlights an area bringing art to it instead of decreasing the beauty of it.

In Valencia a lot of street art was accompanied by these quirky characters dotted around the old town. Finding each one made me feel like I was walking a secret path leading to new discoveries.
