As much as I dislike common graffiti, as much I’m completely in love with cities that allow quality street artΒ in their public space. The street art in Tigre is no exception.

I captured some of the pieces I saw on my scroll around Tigre but I think that if you spend a bit more time wandering around the city you will be able to find more street art.

    We really loved our day trip to Tigre. We happened to be there during the Chinese new year and there was a Chinese food exhibition in the streets. Besides taking the wrong boat and not doing a tour of the islands like we wanted, it was a really nice day.
