Barcelona Graffiti Tour
What I love about travelling is that it’s such a great opportunity to learn something new. You can learn a lot about a city through its food, music, architecture, people and most certainly its art. One of my favourite parts of our trip to Barcelona was getting to go on a tour around the city discovering some of its most unique pieces of street art!
When you visit a historic city like Barcelona, you may be inclined to look for the usual, the standard fair: museums, plazas, monuments and churches. We have a tendency to go with what we ‘know’ but it is also interesting to find the art and culture of a city where people live, work and play. Walking through city streets can be a window into the culture. This is a great opportunity for a Barcelona graffiti tour.
Art can be found in many different forms in a cosmopolitan city but one of the most contemporary forms of expression is graffiti or street art. Personally, I find that street art really gives a city personality. I saw a lot of it when I was in South America, especially in Colombia’s capital city, Bogota, where graffiti is much more accepted than in North America and the streets are full of colourful murals. Barcelona certainly has its own active street art/graffiti scene and it was really fun taking a walk around the city and learning so much about it with our tour guide from trip4real.com.
