The XXL sculptures of the Spanish painter are located in Plaza de España, Plaza de San Francisco, Marqués de Contadero, Santa Justa, El Altozano, Fibes, Nervión Plaza, in east Seville and finally, inside the Avenida de las Ciencias. Supporting this striking urban visibility action, the Andalusian capital will host a whole series of activities until the night of the gala.
