Do you love street art? Me too. When Steve and I headed to the Canary Islands in May 2024, street art was the furthest thing from my mind. Even so, I was delighted to find it in countless places during our twelve weeks there. 

Here are some of my favorites from the three islands we visited: Tenerife, La Palma, and Gran Canaria. The addresses where I stood while taking the photos are referenced so you can easily find them and enjoy them in person.
