("The beauty is your mind")
-Graffiti across Spain, 2008
Just one of the reason Spaniards are great is that even the graffiti is uplifting. Instead of covering their storefronts and park benches with obscenities and gang signs, one common phrase I saw painted across the walls of Barcelona was this:
¡Qué fantástico! Inspirational graffiti! Translated, the phrase means, "The beauty is your mind". What a wonderful reminder of the power of our intellect.
In a city so fashion-forward and image-conscious as Barcelona, seeing this free-spirited every day as I walked to the Metro reminded me that Prada riding boots weren't all it took to succeed.
