Street Art Murals Route

Culture · Estepona

About

• About 70 giant murals on façades, painted since 2012 and expanded with an international mural art competition
• 'La Poda de la Buganvilla' (Avda. Andalucía area, José Fernández Ríos): about 300 m², billed as the largest vertical mural in Spain
• 'Desde el Mar' (IES Monterroso): hyper-realistic trompe-l'oeil that can be seen from two perspectives
• Minimalist 'La Última Cena' on the side of the Iglesia de San José, next to Plaza Antonia Guerrero (old town)
• 'Agua', by Fran Redondo (C/ Málaga, Salymar building), a Braille mural; 'El vínculo que nos une' (C/ José Luis Díez), first prize of the 2024 competition

Good to know

• Ask for the updated map at the Tourist Office: the PDF leaflet only goes up to 2023 and the newest ones are missing
• Many murals are in residential neighbourhoods, not in the old town: do it by bike or in several stages
• Some older murals have faded and others have been covered over (e.g. 'La Venus', in 2022)
• Best light for photos first thing or late in the afternoon; in summer avoid midday
