The province of Castellón in Spain has developed a graffiti route that crosses the territory from the Mediterranean to the Mijares river. This unique route transforms villages and cities into open-air galleries, where large urban art murals tell stories through the walls.
For centuries, the walls of Castellón served as a space for expression. The article mentions that the first manifestations were the cave paintings of Maestrazgo, followed by the ceramic tiles that decorated streets and facades, creating an artistic tradition that remains alive.
The current route represents a paradigm shift. Graffiti is no longer considered synonymous with clandestine tagging, but rather a form of local culture and identity. The recovery of public spaces is one of the main objectives of this initiative, which positions urban art as a heritage element of the region.
