Even on Sunday, the work that started days earlier continued. Or, indeed, some new ones were getting started!

LA Wall Art festival 3
Hard work on Artwork in Los Alcazares!
Art needs work, a lot of it. All the artists I visited earlier this weekend (see previously posted pages on this subject here) were still cracking on from Saturday morning to late saturday night. I’ll restrict this post to some impressions on hard work on artwork: Continue reading →
Wall art vs Graffiti
What is art and what is graffiti?
The eternal question on wall art is that it is deemed graffiti (by some). Obviously I do not agree with that. Yes, there is graffiti, and there is wall art that I do not like, but wall art per se is not graffiti. For me, the difference between graffiti and mural art is clear by looking at it. If the difference is unclear to you, then I’d recommend to visit some of the murals in progress today, or some created earlier. Continue reading →

Museo Aeronautico Municipal
A museum? In LA?
Opposite the military base on Avenida de la Libertad, the main street in Los Alcazares, you can find the Museo Aeronautico Municipal. I have passed it on my way to the boulevard or back many times but never found it open for visitors. Today I found a new sign stating the museo to be open Monday to Friday between 4 pm and 9 pm, that’s anglo-American for between 16:00 and 21:00. So I went back later to have a look inside.

Patrulla Águila
The military dare-devils
The Spanish Airforce aeronautical acrobatics team, Patrulle Ábuila or Eagle Patrol, has been flying small jets for many years. You can see them whooshing by any time of the day Mondays through Fridays, though obviously not during the siësta as they usually return to base between 12:00 and 13:00! The old jet planes are quite loud as they pass over for landing. But on the flip side, we get to see their acrobatics up close as they practice and demonstrate formation flying over the Mar Menor.
