Graffiti BilbaoThis graffiti art was photographed in Bilbao on our way to the Winery's. The Language is in Bask and has a very interesting style. It has a geometric concept to it that isnt relevant in any other graffiti I have photographed in Spain. It is composed of several different geometric patterns that are filled either solid or lightly shaded. In the back ground of the photo you can see

Graffiti BarcelonaThis graffiti was photographed in Barcelona. I think this method of spray painting is most interesting because it comes alive at different times of the day. Since the graffiti is done on the garage doors of restaurants, and retail centers. They are only open at certain hours of the day. So the experience is only seen during closing hours, siesta, and on Sundays. The work is

Graffiti Art MeridaSorry for the quality, This was a night shot. This was the only graffiti I found in Merida. It was located by the Roman Aqueducts and was very incredible. This was the most beautiful work I found along our trip to southern Spain. The location seemed to be more private then public since it was behind some bushes away from the Aqueducts. But the art was amazing, It had

Granada SevillaThese were taken in Sevilla of the empty spaces from 1992 Exhibition. You can see here that there is no real hierarchy of graffiti art here.

Graffiti Located In GranadaThis next location I choose to photograph because the location seemed perfect. It was on the route to the Alhambra and Unlike the Madrid Graffiti that looked permanent this seemed to be almost a temporary exhibit. It was sprayed on a building under-construction so the artist knowing the it probably wouldn't last long did a quick Tag of a word (in Spanish and complicated

Graffiti MadridThis Photo was taken During our Visit to Madrid. Location was on a small public square. You can see the large mural was probably done in pieces because of the detail it could not have been completed in one night. It seems to express a portrait of a graffiti artist and an eye. In between them I can make out one word in English that says Soul. The other word of above this I cannot

Busted in El Salvador

In 1979, I went on my first trip to El Salvador. Since the early ’70s, we had heard stories from other traveling surfers about Punta Roca, a fabulous point break discovered by Miami surfer Bob Rotherham, who first stumbled upon this little speck of surfing nirvana while traveling through Central America in 1972.
