Salvador i Mercè. Barcelona, 2013
They were at least ten feet tall and drawn on the walls…near the intersection of the Diagonal and Carrer de Numància in Barcelona. There you will find Salvador Espriu, a Catalan poet who some say should have won the Nobel Prize for literature, and Mercè Rodoreda, a Catalan novelist, some say the best of the post-war years.
The graffiti is everywhere in Barcelona and much of it is most certainly art…and it often promotes Catalan culture and pride.
