Public Art, Graffiti & Street Art in Santurce
Santurce has some of best street art and graffiti artists in the world!
While its hard to let you know exactly where you’ll find it – since great works may be ‘here today and gone tomorrow’, the largest concentration is on Fernandez Juncos Avenue from parada 22 near Pavia Hospital to the Tren Urbano. Make sure to check the side streets that connect Fernandez Juncos with Ponce de Leon.
The street art is constantly changing but here is a sample of what we've found at each parada:
