Here, the towns« street art has gone from being the »rebellious sibling’ to becoming the finest ambassador for identity on our Grand Tour through the UNESCO Sites; urban art is not just about aesthetics, but a tool for rural identity and local development.

A prime example is Romangordo, where its famous trompe-l'oeil trick the visitor’s eye to depict scenes from everyday life. Along the same lines of visual impact, the murals in Salorino stand out for their ability to blend into the urban landscape whilst conveying messages that celebrate the culture of Extremadura. And Critical Wall, founded in 2015 as an artistic response to rural neglect.

But there are many other experiences to be found across the UNESCO territories, beyond these classic ones, thanks to various local or private initiatives which still adorn their walls.
