It’s an elaborate and very chaotic yet beautiful execution of graffiti on tunnel walls
I was enroute from Barcelona in Spain to Perpignan in southern France and, as I wasn’t able to get on the high speed TGV, I instead opted to ride the TER which made the longer route. However, the train was only up to Cerbère, the border town of France and we had to get on the bus to Perpignan instead.
But whoa! As we went from Gare de Cerbère, the train station to the beach front for the awaiting bus, we passed by an underground tunnel that was full of graffiti! But it was such a chaotic yet wonderful and colorful work of art covering the entire tunnel wall from end to end.
There were bright red strokes, blue lines and shades, black dashes and letters as well as splashes of pink. I just can’t help but stop, gaze in awe and take photographs and at the same time, hurrying up for the bus.
It was an amazing discovery!

The weather was somber and skies overcast as the TGV train from Perpignan, France, where I stayed for the night, meandered its way through the beautiful southern French countryside. Scenes of vineyards, rolling hills, the Mediterranean Sea and medieval towns and cities with its sprinkling of old and new architecture…
It was like in the movies: rugged countryside, almost barren except for clumps of vegetation. A lonely overcast day when the clouds come down from the heavens and linger on mountain tops. Road and rail tracks crisscross the scenery while two toned villas cling like barnacles on a rock but…
This is wonderful! To think its graffiti! Wow. Now, I can’t blame you from stopping to admire such art.
beautifully done graffiti no?
