Espíritu de Equipo

Location: C/Cristóbal Ruiz Méndez (Pabellón Ramos-Cazorla).

This mural, titled ‘Team Spirit’, is located on the facade of the Pineda sports hall on Cristóbal Ruiz Méndez Street, where the fire station used to be. It was painted by Francisco Alarcón in 2018, and it is 9 meters high and has an area of 103 square meters.

As we can see, it is a very colourful painting that shows a girls’ basketball team. It is a mural which transmits joy to me. Not only because of the bright colours, but also because my niece appears in the middle of the mural. She and her time were champions of Andalusia and this mural was made after they had won the tournament.

We can see that all the players are smiling and most of them are making the symbol of strength with their arms. This mural reminds me that with effort and perseverance we can achieve our dreams.
