The Cultural Council has launched a campaign to renovate the various murals with different facades in the Old Town. The project began with work on the mural in the Plaza del Mosquit, painted by Elías Úrbez in 1990.
In order to carry out this initiative, agreements were signed with the owners before work began, as the mural is privately owned on a façade. The mural was also redesigned by Elías Úrbez himself in order to adapt the opening of two small windows to the original project.
