Tabacalera
Tabacalera is a lively cultural centre in what used to be a tobacco factory. You’ll find Tabacalera next to the Embajadores metro station.
First I went inside to see what exhibition was on. But when I left the building and started heading up towards the city centre, I discovered the magnificent wall surrounding Tabacalera.
No less than 25 pieces of art decorate that wall. It’s a project called Muros Tabacalera. It started in 2014 and is now featuring its second edition from 2016.
Artists were invited to paint these with a general Urban Nature theme. They each brought their own different style and interpretation and the outcome is just beautiful.
This irresistible piece is by Okuda:
And some really moving art by Digo Diego:
Love this elegant piece by BTOY:
And finally a great piece by Deno:
Lavapies
Not too far from there in Lavapies, the cool multicultural neighbourhood of Madrid, I found this stunning mural by artist Barbara Siebenlist:
More great street art I discovered while walking around the area:
There’s even more to explore in the urban art scene in Madrid. Paste ups and sticker art and even larger murals…
It’s one of my favourite cities in the world thanks to its eternal cool vibe. The street art scene doesn’t disappoint!

Gut gemacht!
[…] One of the most beautiful murals we saw on the tour was painted by Spanish street artist Okuda. You might have seen his vibrant art in other cities too, for example in Madrid. […]

Amazing murals! Did you know that there will be a new festival taking place in Lavapiés district from 6th May 2019?
These are absolutely beautiful murals! I wish I had seen them on my recent trip to Madrid. Next time, I’ll have to add them to the itinerary.
I am crazy for street art & love Madrid, so I will definitely pin this post for my next trip to Spain.
Glad to hear that and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it!
Awesome street art captures. I love the bright colours and sharp angles.
Thanks Rhonda, glad you liked it 🙂
Wow! How amazing art is that! I love street art when it is such a high quality – and being so colorful is just a plus in my world 😉 I loved visiting Bogotá because of their great street art scene, but I had no clue that Madrid also has high-quality art. I will look out for it next time I visit. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks, I was surprised to find this art in Madrid too! and thanks for the tip on Bogotá 😉
