Hi there my Steemian friends and followers!
After showing you the astonishing natural beauty of the Mexican island of Holbox in this post last week, I am here with another post dedicated to this extraordinary place. This time around, I will introduce you to another thing that Holbox is famous for and that is incredible street art.
If you read my previous post about Holbox, you might remember that local streets are actually more of just sandy pathways as they are not paved and cars are still not allowed on the island and yet, it was here where I admired some of the most amazing pieces of street art that I have ever seen.
I am not really sure why so many graffiti artists picked this little, still largely undiscovered island as the canvas for their masterpieces but the fact is you can find some impressive street art on literally every other house and wall all over the town. Although the built-up part of the island is still totally insignificant (fortunately!) compared to its total area, I am pretty confident there are hundreds of stunning street art works to be found and admired there. As always, I was much more interested in the natural beauty of the place than in its urban parts but I still had to dedicate some time to exploring the streets and checking out some of the murals because they really were admirable.
After some editing, I picked 26 photos featuring the gorgeously vivid Holbox street art. Not to overwhelm you with all the colors though, I decided to split the photo collection into two parts, each featuring 13 photos. Here is the first part.
I hope you enjoyed these beautiful street art pieces. If you did, stay tuned for the second part of this special collection that will be posted here on my blog next Tuesday ;)
Note: The house depicted in the last photo (Casa Ohana) is where we stayed on Holbox. Highly recommended! You can find it on AirBnb here.
