Full description

An English-speaking street-art guide leads this walk through alleyways, courtyards and developing or underground districts, introducing murals and graffiti by local and visiting artists. Commentary explains how economic conditions, political debate and urban change shape the images and their messages, helping participants interpret what the works represent.

The tour shows neighbourhoods that independent visitors can easily overlook and centres on contemporary culture rather than archaeology. Shared, smaller-group and private arrangements differ in price and participant requirements.

Reviewers praise the guide's flexibility and insight into artists' techniques.
