Where to find street art in Madrid (Spain)
Graffiti took hold in Madrid during the Movida of the 1980s, when Juan Carlos Argüello — known as Muelle — developed a spring-and-arrow lettering style that inspired writers across Spain. Malasaña emerged as the scene's epicentre in the 1990s, with its squatted buildings and painted walls. In 2010, Italian artist Blu completed one of the first large-scale murals of the new wave in Lavapiés, marking a shift towards broader public recognition of urban art.
Malasaña's Calle del Pez, Calle Espíritu Santo, and Plaza del Dos de Mayo concentrate murals and painted shutters by artists including Boa Mistura and Dourone. Lavapiés is home to the Muros Tabacalera — a state-run urban art space on Calle Doctor Fourquet — and works by Okuda San Miguel. Further south, Vallecas and Carabanchel host monumental pieces by Sixe Paredes and Jorge Rodríguez-Gerada.
Madrid's collective Boa Mistura helped bring the city's street art to international attention. The annual Urvanity fair draws artists from around the world for in-situ commissions across different neighbourhoods. Specialist guides now map six distinct street art circuits across the Spanish capital, from historic central barrios to the outer working-class districts.
