This Thursday you can see the final result of the new mural in Mazarrón , although there have been many who have been trying to catch a glimpse of it.

Since the beginning of the week, 15 students of the Higher Education Training Cycle of the School of Art of Murcia started the painting of a mural of 265 square metres that occupies a neutral space in a central area where hundreds of pedestrians pass - Plaza Toneleros of Puerto de Mazarrón.

Pedro Martinez, Councillor for Infrastructure and Culture, visited the group of young artists on Tuesday to check the progress of the work. The mural links the past and the future of the municipality with the main image of a goddess avant-garde style and in which will be present the colour red that is a characteristic of Mazarrón, as well as the Phoenician ship and sailors.


Without being finished, the mural has already caught the attention of the neighbours and even some tourists have begun to take “selfies” next to the painting, according to Pedro Ayala, responsible for the project. The activity is included in the programme of extracurricular practices of the students of the School of Art of Murcia.
