Since the death of Franco, Spain finally has been able to raise it's voice in it's new own democracy. Freedom of speech, in newspapers, blogs and long before blogging, Streetart - Graffity - one possibility to share someones personal point of view.
Living since one decade in Barcelona I have to say that the Graffity in Barcelona, it's streetart, is unique.
The spirit of Barcelona is that very special and I am sure it contributes a lot to getting that popular among European travel destinations. A place where culture, beach, good food, shopping paradise is combined into that fresh mentallity where nothing has limits.
Unfortunaelty the government does restrict since some years this liberal enviremont.
But one thing more the Catalan are famours for is their pacific demonstrations, they want to be part of their future and not just assist.
There is now a new law which makes it very illegal to create Streetart in public places. Fines are between 750 to 1.000 Eur. I am honestly sad as I can imagine that somehow this blog and Magnetmundo will be affected and we will run out of new material. But still there is hope and brave graffity artist, so the battle is not over nor lost.
