Street art in Girona is far from being a major tourist attraction. The medieval buildings from the Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque eras are more attractive than the paint that escapes from a spray can! And I have to admit that for years I was happy to go there and lose myself in the maze of the old town to catch a glimpse of the magnificent treasures hidden behind the old stones! But over the last ten years or so, when I arrive in Girona, I can’t help but notice that the public spaces are filling up with astonishing works of colour. So I decided to approach Girona from a different angle, forgetting the old town and concentrating on the surrounding areas.<\/p>\n

I was overwhelmed! Against all the odds, two urban art festivals are colliding in the city! And frankly, there’s very little communication about these events… Local communication, of course, but it’s not reaching our ears! I was extremely surprised by the content of these works aimed at the general public. From the small works to the XXL ones, there’s not a single one that’s just there as a backdrop… It makes sense, and even if you’re not familiar with the history of these festivals, you quickly realise that Street Art in Girona is designed to unite the population and get a message across. So I decided to highlight these two events, starting with the most recent festival, which, after a few works, allowed me to understand the complexity of the district I was in without having read a single line about it.<\/p>
