The Tabacalera — a former tobacco factory — in the Lavapies neighborhood of Madrid is now a cultural Mecca hosting over two dozen exterior murals. Curated by the Madrid Street Art Project, the murals — referred to as Muros Tabacalera — change yearly and focus on environmental issues that impact this district’s residents. The mural pictured above was painted by the Italian artist, Alice Pasquini. What follows are several others I captured on my recent trip to Madrid:
Málaga-based artist Dadi Dreucol
Argentine artist Animalitoland
Madrid-based Okuda
Dubai-based Spanish artist Ruben Sanchez

Special thanks to Javier Garcia of Cool Tours Spain for introducing me to this project.
Note: Hailed in a range of media from Wide Walls to the Huffington Post to the New York Times, our Street Art NYC App is now available for Android devices here.

Thanks so much for sharing! Just note that it is not Zosen but Gripface on the picture, next to AddFuel. The project was curated by Madrid Street Art Project and the walls will be renewed next 2018. Thanks Javier for showing our project around!
Best,
Guillermo & Diana.
Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention. I made the correction. Lois
