Murals of Estepona

The Tourist Office provided a helpful map of the murals of Estepona. We had seen a few around the town and read that the number is constantly growing. There are now over 50 murals and the whole thing began with a competition and has grown from there. We saw fewer than half of them and were impressed by their diversity of subject and style. A map of them is downloadable here: https://docs.google.com/gview?url=http://www.estepona.es/turismo/images/folletos/murales/folleto-murales.pdf

Here is a small sample of these amazing wall paintings:

Jump Into Blue

Dreams of Freedom is about Antonia Guerrero who left money in her will to provide education for women from poor families.

These two are called Eyes of a Child and Loving Mother and are the artist’s grandchildren.

Dia de Pesca (Fishing Day) is the largest artistic mural in Spain.

Forest of Wonders

Watering the Garden. I waited a while for the man to move but he wasn’t going anywhere.

Come and See

With its murals, poetry plaques and statues around the town, car free streets and of course the abundant flowers, Estepona was a perfect town for strolling.
