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.
Here's a larger view of one of the walls, showing the many additions different people have made, and the fact that people will paint over others' work.
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.
