]]>This fascinating alleyway is nestled in the heart of São Paulo’s Vila Madalena neighborhood, and its name can literally be translated as Batman’s Alley. It didn’t get this name because it’s as scary as the streets of Gotham—Beco do Batman is actually one of the city’s most vibrant attractions and a lone Batman graffiti was the one that started it all.
This graffiti was painted all the way back in the ’80s, and Beco do Batman ended up transforming into an ever-evolving open-air gallery in the year to come, where different colors, patterns, and styles exist in perfect harmony.
Local and international artists painted countless murals and graffiti across the walls of Beco do Batman, and they’re showing no signs of stopping. New art is constantly popping up on the streets of this lively district, which perfectly captures the dynamic spirit of São Paulo, standing as a timeless testament to its diverse artistic heritage.

]]>One of the best ways to find the right neighborhood to learn about a local community is through live gigs. Whether online or on notice boards, look for live gigs of bands you’ve never heard of. Pay attention to the terms in their posters to get an idea of their age and vibe.
Thrift shops are a great indicator of the local crowd, specifically the local kind that doesn’t have a central sorting center that spreads the merchandise to different branches. Pop in to see the style the locals grew out of, and the price tags attached to the discarded items. If the shops are vintage and priced like designer apparel, this area isn’t quite what you are looking for.
A quick and easy “test” of a neighborhood is the state of its walls. Are they clean? Are they covered in posters, graffiti, or commissioned murals? Look at what the art has to say as well, it will tell you who made and why!

]]>The stunning Alhambra is a world-famous palace and fortress complex built in the 9th and rebuilt in the 14th century by the Nasrid emir Mohammed ben Al-Ahmar of the Emirate of Granada, who built its current palace and walls and is a must-see during your Granada visit. The Generalife Gardens are located outside the fortress and it looks the way we would imagine paradise. The best time to visit is spring when everything is in blossom.
Sacramonte is a famous gypsy neighborhood located on the hill and valley of Valparaíso. The local gypsies have been living here since 1492, after the Christian conquest. This picturesque quarter with its whitewashed caves carved into the hillside is definitely Granada’s most beautiful neighborhoods.
Realejo, the former Jewish quarter became an art gallery all thanks to the creative mind of a famous local artist Raúl Ruiz. Ruiz, also known as El Niño de las Pinturas with his cans of spray-paint revived the old, boring building facades constituting a world known famous art.
