Europe’s largest vertical mural, on Spain’s south coast, is just weeks away from completion.

Covering over 6,000 square metres, Les Rivages de Almuñécar, by the well-known artist Jose Ríos, is being painted on three 12-storey buildings. 

The mural depicts a figure of a dog walking on the beach, the silhouette of a woman and the waves of the sea and the golden sand.

Its conception was to convey a sense of transparency and disguise the tower blocks on which it is painted.
