It is, however, fabulous if you like street art....
See?
OK, the first one isn't street art, it's a view on my way into BCN.... and a nice one!
Now some genuine street art.....
there were a lot more posters this time around, not sure why.....
and I think tagging is dumb.
this is very old street art....
this one I've seen all over the place and my ignorance is showing, I have a feeling that with a smart phone there is something you can do with th
This is an abandoned church, and a lovely one too. Sad what's happened to it.
See the old floor beams? Enormous!!!!

After Keith Haring, they were painting some words, along the lines of, 'together we can stop AIDS' which fits in as much of his work was heavily influenced by his AIDS diagnosis, and went to assist groups in fighting AIDS.
this mural is on public display as well, by Eduard Chillida, one of Spains most important sculptors. He was Basque.
OK, this is a bit of a cheat, cause I had to go into the lobby of MACBA, and I don't even love Tàpies' work that much, but it was there, and it counts, kinda.

Nice! :). The one you see everywhere and has no clue about is from "Invader", a street artist putting up mosaics like that everywhere. The characters are monsters from old arcade video games (most notably "space invaders", hence the name). There are plenty in Paris, and also a couple in Prague, that I noticed. On http://www.space-invaders.com you can check out a map of the "invasion" ;)
Seadog, strangely, no we didn't we were on a MISSION!!!
ElP...the invader did look familiar, looked pacmanish...and that little reflective piece...that's why they're familiar, I'm that old!!!!! I'll go look at that website. Thanks!!!!
Loved the street art! So varied compared to San Francisco. Though the Banksy visit a few years ago was fun.
Berlin is apparently THE place to go for street art, but it ain't to shabby here!
