Vandals Deface Alhambra and Albaicín: Granada Investigates German Graffiti Artists

Granada's Alhambra and Albaicín neighborhoods were recently targeted by vandals, prompting outrage and a swift response from authorities. The Andalusian Prosecutor's Office is investigating a suspected group of German graffiti artists, who are believed to travel from country to country committing similar acts of vandalism. The graffiti, which depicted a skeleton figure and the words "Borracho Punto Com," was quickly removed by cleaning services, according to the report. However, the incident has sparked concerns about the protection of Granada's valuable cultural heritage sites. "It is an attack not only against a historical building, but against culture itself," stated a local resident interviewed in the video. In response to the incident, the city council is considering increasing video surveillance in the affected areas, hoping to deter future vandalism. The video footage shows the extent of the damage and the efforts to clean up the graffiti. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are committed to holding the perpetrators accountable. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting cultural heritage and the challenges of preventing vandalism in popular tourist destinations.
