The small town of Les Franqueses del Vallès, located just 4 kilometers north of Granollers in Catalonia, Spain, hosted the third edition of the Enamurart Graffiti Jam on January 11, 2025. Nestled in a suburban setting, this town may not be on your radar, but you can imagine a reputation as a hub for urban art growing – especially with events like this graffiti jam.
Unfolding at the intersection of Carrer de la Serra and Carrer Llevant, Enamuart brought together an impressive lineup of graffiti artists and writers, including MARIA DIE, ESLICER, DANTE, MARCONE, PAKO & MAGA, STAIN, JAPON, SHORE, OKAN, MUSA, HEN, and EDZUMBA. The names represent a mix of styles, perspectives, and techniques, making the jam not just an artistic gathering but a good showcase of the breadth of contemporary graffiti.
Les Franqueses del Vallès, while quieter and more residential than its larger neighbor Granollers, is finding its footing as a cultural hotspot. The nearby Roca Umbert Fàbrica de les Arts in Granollers is a converted textile factory that’s become a cultural center and creative hub thanks to high quality works from graffiti and street artists, contributing to the region’s sense of artistic momentum. Enamurart’s graffiti jam is another layer in this evolving landscape, helping shape the community’s identity.
Thanks again to the artists and the organizers for sharing this story with us. Special thanks go to Lluis Olive Bulbena, whose sharp eye and passion for street art and graffiti have captured the day’s best moments in the photos shared with you today.
Thanks to photographer Lluis Olive-Bulbena, we have new photos today of a sophisticated mural program called Efimur, which heralds natural beauty and creates new examples in the urban landscape. Here is a quick visual journey through the vibrant and dynamic murals of the 2024 Efímurs Festival, held in the picturesque coastal town of L’Ametlla de Mar, south of Tarragona, Spain.
As an urban art festival, Efimur is directed and coordinated by the local artist Uri Márquez Cateura (@uri.kthr), who brought a selection of talented muralists this year. Supported by organizations like the Tourism Department of L’Ametlla de Mar, the City Council, and funded by the European Next Generation funds, the festival’s theme revolved around the integration of urban art with the natural and cultural landscapes of L’Ametlla de Mar.
Often referred to as “the most natural cove,” L’Ametlla de MarArtists featured a roster of mural painters from various countries gathered to paint large-scale murals, each infusing their unique styles and perspectives. The festival also featured a graffiti exhibition, special events, and electronic brunch, culminating in a vibrant community celebration.
Among the notable artists who participated in the 2024 edition were Abys from France, Asem & Manz from Madrid, Dridali from Valencia, Filite from Brazil, Kamma Marlo from Mollerussa, Kitsune Jolene from Belgium, Moxaico from Almeria, Mura from Brazil, Sucri & Furyo from Valencia, Uri Kthr from L’Ametlla de Mar, and Zabala from Bilbao.
