The art is so exquisite that there are even Street Art tours. But you can also just explore the neighbourhood yourself and get lost in the streets.
La Escocesa, a dope visual arts art center that fosters residential artists’ professional careers, is also located in the Poblenou neighbourhood. So, if you are already out and about in this area or looking for more artsy scenes, don’t forget to pop in La Escocesa.
Tres Chimeneas
This area is a haven for street art in Barcelona. There are five walls in the neighborhood that are speicfically protected through the Wallspot Project for street artists to do their thing legally. Here not only can you find street art lovers but the artists themselves who like to hang around the skate park that is nearby.
Carrer de Sant Pau and Carrer de la Riereta
The corner of Carrer de Sant Pau and Carrer de la Riereta lies a famous Barcelona graffiti mural that is a tribute to the Catalan artist Joan Miro. It is one of the most famous pieces of street art in Europe.
It’s also located in El Raval neighbourhood, one of the coolest areas to wine and dine in Barcelona. There is a gorgeous street, Rambla del Raval, that is full of places to eat. If you are headed to see this piece of artwork, make some time to check out El Raval.
