España - Street Art Bonus #1

Barcelona was full of street art. Everything from typical rattle can graffiti, to sticker art, to large murals. A lot of the art adorned the many roll-up doors that covered shops when they were (frequently) closed, which made for entertaining walks through the stone corridors of Barcelona's backstreets.

Here's a typical Barcelona shop, in closed form.  Shop hours seemed to be basically willy-nilly. Most of the doors did not roll up until 5:00pm or so.

This colorful 'No' flea appeared in several spots.

BOLLOCKS: A punk bar we had a drink at one night.

With Spain's economy suffering greatly, dissidence could be seen expressed in their street art quite frequently.

Typicaly clusterfuck of graffiti in Barcelona.

One thing that I found interesting, is the fact that graffiti was everyone, even on some of the very ancient structures. It might seem disrespectful or shameful to tag the wall of a building built several centuries ago, but in Barcelona that does not seem to be a concern.

I like this one.

Cool.

Weird.

This sleeping rabbit was also all over.
