Due to a large number of talented artists<\/strong><\/a> that chose the\u00a0streets<\/strong> as their favourite vehicle of expression, Barcelona<\/strong> was once considered the world capital of graffiti<\/strong>. However, since the public (and legal) perception of the art was still very negative at the time, it was considered vandalism, and municipal policies forced the scene to fade into obscurity.<\/p>\n

Currently, as society in general sees street art<\/strong> in a different light, there are various Catalan associations that promote and defend the practice, most notably Rebobinart, Bombcelona<\/strong> and Murs Lluires <\/strong>(free walls), with the latter being dedicated to obtaining public space licenses for artists.<\/p>\n
