Thanks for hosting this weekly event . You gave me a good reason to get out and discover the neighborhood.
Put on your walking shoes and walk with me in Los Alcazares. We love to go to LA (No, not Los Angeles) to have a walk near the beach. I noticed there are a lot of mural paintings in town so I looked it up. I'm not talking about the graffiti style, but real pieces of art. On the website of tourism I saw they do a guided tour in town. There are more than 150 paintings and the guided tour is only doing a small amount of them. So I want to discover them by myself. It gives me a good reason to do several walks over there. As they're spread all over town it's not possible for me to do them in one track.
I knew a good parking place near the office of tourism, I got my camera gear ready ... Here I go!
As soon as I left the office I saw the first 2 paintings.
I tried to look up information, but couldn't find the artist. The first 18 paintings are made in 2013. Later on more festivals were held where national and international artists joined. The latest additions are from May 2022.
So sad to see people damaged this painting.
That's it for this week. I enjoyed the walk and it gave me inspiration to make a cartoon (Mo wants to be a street artist). While I was walking I met another photographer and I had a nice conversation with him. He was smarter than me, he was on a bicycle! Hahahaha. No kidding, I will do the next walking, it's too much hassle with the camera gear!
All pictures are taken by me with Nikon D7000 and 12-24 lens. If you want to see more of the artists, Google is your best friend 😜
