Alternative urban art route in Spain: Discover 7 amazing murals from artists Alegria del Prado
For art lovers looking for something different to do in Spain, why not follow the trail of these famous street artists across the country?
Spain is a country of artistic wonder, from the Renaissance-era masterpieces in the Prado museum in Madrid to the heritage of Picasso in Malaga to the architectural artistry of Gaudí in Barcelona.
But for those looking for an alternative art activity in Spain, there is a route tourists can take to discover the top 7 works of alternative artists and mural extraordinaires Alegría del Prado.
Formed in the northern Spanish province of Burgos in 2011 by husband and wife team Ester González Alegría and Octavio Matias del Prado, the duo has spent over a decade honing their craft and becoming masters of street art and murals in Spain.
And it’s not just Spain, either. Octavio is from Mexico, and Alegría del Prado have many public works on display there too, as well as in countries as diverse as the UK, Canada, the USA, France, Russia, Mexico, Switzerland and Portugal.
Anyone who has ever seen one of their murals, which are typically very large and easily spotted on the side of prominent buildings, will instantly recognise and appreciate their signature style, which mixes elements of nature and Hispanic culture with an earthy colour palette and a slightly surreal, dreamlike quality.
Within Spain, you can follow the route to visit the 7 best murals of Alegría del Prado from their native Burgos down to Cordoba. This is the perfect alternative tourist plan in Spain for art lovers, and best of all it’s absolutely free since their artworks are open-air murals painted on the outside of buildings.
This is the Alegría del Prado alternative street art tour of Spain:
- Trespaderne, Burgos
- Belorado, Burgos
- Universidad de Burgos, Burgos
- Cambre, Galicia
- Ordes, A Coruña, Galicia
- Monte Mayor, Cordoba
- Baena, Cordoba
You can see more examples of their work, including paintings and other items, on the Alegría del Prado Instagram page.
