Two Murcia murals compete to take the title of Best in the World
Street Art Cities has announced that extraordinary artworks in San Javier and Alcantarilla have made it into the finals

Street Art Cities, the largest urban art community on the planet, is on the hunt 2024’s Best Mural in the World, and two Murcia artworks have made the final cut.
The hopefuls come from every corner of the globe, including nearby UK, Portugal and Italy and from as far afield as Japan and Georgia.
The winner will be chosen by an elite panel of experts from the art world, including street art professionals, artists, academics, journalists and community leaders.
Representing Murcia to be crowned the Best Mural in the World 2024 are stunning pieces titled 'Aire', by Sbah from Mazarrón, made in San Javier, and 'Animals', by Dulk from Valencia, which has taken pride of place in Alcantarilla.
In total, 50 works compete in this open vote in which you can participate through the website streetartcities.com/awards/2024.
It is not the first time that the Region of Murcia stands out in this contest; in 2022, the British artist Dale Grimshaw achieved fifth place with another mural painted in Alcantarilla.
Street Art Cities began in 2016 as a modest initiative to create an online map that would help two street art enthusiasts explore their cities more efficiently. After launching a basic version of the website, the owners decided to open the platform to others who shared the same passion for street art.
In just a few years, it has blossomed into the world’s largest street art community, spanning over 100 countries and more than 1,800 cities, with hundreds of thousands of visitors and app users actively contributing to its growth.
Voting will end on the 25th of January, when the winners will be announced.

Oficina de Turismo de San Javier
The municipality of San Javier has three main offices giving tourist information to visitors, as well as two information points. The tourist offices are located in Santiago de la Ribera, on the ground floor of the town hall in San Javier and at the start of La Manga. There is also a summer tourist information point located on the seafront in Santiago de la Ribera as well as one at kilometre 12-13 of La Manga del Mar Menor next to Playa Mistral.
Due to its location on the fringes of the Mar Menor and Mediterranean, San Javier has a period of intense summer tourism activity during the peak summer months, although it is popular with retirees of all nationalities out of peak season.
Tickets for the annual San Javier Jazz Festival can be purchased at the Festival office in San Javier Town Hall, Plaza de España.
