The streets of Madrid are literally awash with a myriad of colourful artworks, from abstract splashes of rainbow hues to detailed murals.


Every wall, window and wall is an open air gallery just begging to be snapped.


Metal roller shutters that act as security for shops also double as gallery fronts, sometimes sanctioned, sometimes not!



Some act as extra advertising for the wares within, others are just random victims of fly by night taggers.




The hubby functions as a moody photo prop against this gritty garage front.

And typically also spots this rather ‘cheeky’ wall mural outside a traditional tapas bar that we sample!

I love snapping the variety of different artworks that are dotted around the city – it’s a full time hobby!
