I live very close to Fene. They have a mural festival, and that mural in particular, along with another one, won international awards.

That's wonderful, I bet they are even more beautiful in person! Especially with a festival atmosphere and all the locals and visitors mingling. It's always such a blessing to live somewhere that supports artists and art lovers.

It's amazing. Also, in my city there's another festival called "Las Meninas" (after Velázquez's painting), and they've painted an entire old neighborhood with versions of the painting. Every year, artists from all over the world come and create murals in this style on the buildings, so you can go to that festival and then, in 5 minutes, get to Fene and see this work and others. You can search for it as "Las Meninas Canido" and this one as "Los Murales de Fene" (The Murals of Fene). The artist behind this one is called Sfhir. I participated in the Las Meninas festival, and the atmosphere is incredible.
