These are the 5 festivals that are changing the street art in Spain.
2017 has been set as the year to implement a project or startup which aims on health issues, agricultural engineering or sustainable cities. The street art in Spain that we habe been observing on the past few years made us think about the benefits and reasons of cities being transformed by street art. What is your opinion on the issue? Is graffiti changing arquitecture and urban development? We found the most underground art festivals in Spain.
1) Rexenera fest, how to recreate the standards of Carballo (A Coruña).
Transforming a city into an open air museum could be the reason number one to explain why the street art in Spain is changing towns. It represents a unique opportuniy to exhibit contemporary art to many teenagers and adults that may not afford a museum entrance fee. Carballo is located within a 30 minutes drive from A Coruña and artists such as Hyuro, No3l or Isaac Mahow have performed on last year’s edition.
2) Desordes creativas, Festival Internacional de Arte na Rúa.
Sharing sports and cultural activities is another of the reasons why we think the street art in Spain is changing the urban natures. Have you ever participated at Camino de Santiago? Cooltourspain supports the international urban arts festival of Ordes (A Coruña), raising awareness on the continuous change of sustainable cities.

Urban regeneration.
Reconstructing public and private spaces of Orbes into art was a unique experience lived by artists such as Borondo, Mutante Creativo or Alegría del Prado.
3) Festival Asalto, the most important meeting of street art in Spain.
The streets of Zaragoza will held the 12th edition of this international street art festival. The curation of events such as this important meeting will turn cities into a more modern landscape. Artists from more than 20 countries have already performed by the Ebro River and live bands & activities for chilren and teenagers are also organized all around the city.

Workshops
Apart from offering the perfect catwalk for artists, Asalto is also interested in collaborative projects and the inclusion of educational parts into graffiti. Just like us!
4) Distrito 008,the festival by the Mediterranean Sea.
Julieta XLF, Hyuro, Deih or Escif are probably the most active members in Valencia. Its proximity to the beach, make Valencia a popular destination in case you want to mix the sea and the city: urban natures. Don’t forget to visit the police car painted by Deih in order to raise awareness of police brutality, its relationship with the politicians. Let’s make Valencia great again!

The festival
Distrito 008 will celebrate from 30th March to 9th April the 7th edition. Get ready for new surprises!
5) MAUS, Málaga street art crew & museum.
Another of the great reasons why the street art in Spain is changing urban natures is because of the new vision that is being given to them as new spaces. All performances are transforming the daily routines of people’s lifes. It is also a fact that all of the activities have been carried out with the involvement of local communities, which makes the project even more appealing.
