While wondering around on our way to the train station, we stumbled across this park with a number of graffiti legal walls. Obviously there was some pretty impressive stuff. . . More pictures to follow.
A quick word though, for those of you who don't know much about graffiti art, Barcelona is one of the major centers of this art form. There is even a store completely devoted to graffiti art, merchandise, and graffiti specific paint. It should still be mentioned that despite the art form being more widely accepted, it is still very much illegal, and there is still just as much crappy stuff as there is amazing stuff like this. In Valencia as well as in Barcelona many storefronts had their gates painted by graffiti artists.

Anyway, I'm absolutely in love with the rich red cityscape fading to black in the letters. At first glance I thought it was just a gradient with some roughness in the middle, but wow. I wish I could do stuff like that, I really do.
Red and black is one of those really common color schemes that doesn't get old I guess. Nice and bold, warm, sometimes even inviting. Hmmm...
