Graffiti



Despite the small town feel of Huelva, there is a lot of interesting graffiti around. A Huelva-famous artist who goes by the name of Man-O-Matic, does incredible graffiti. He has a lot of beautiful, realistic portraits about and business's commission him to paint their garages and doors. I also visited El Parque Alfonso Sanchez the other day. It is an incredibly strange park. It is an enormous and consists of ramping cement tiers that raise up and culminate into a kind of lookout walkway that one can get a pretty good view of Huelva from. Not only is it's structure strange, but it looks like a place completely abandoned. All the cement walls are covered in years of graffiti, plants and small trees grow up out of cracks, and beer bottles and other debris little the area. I was told that big concerts happen there in the summer but it was hard to picture the place being used by anyone. However, I did like the place a lot; the graffiti was fun and the grungy aesthetic is cool to look at.
