PHILIPPINES: Streetart Boracay - Island Graffiti and Aklan Urban Art

The island of Boracay is located in the Philippines and belongs to the province of Aklan. It has around 37.000 inhabitants and is one of the country’s most popular tourist destinations. Historically, Boracay was long inhabited only by local communities and remained largely unknown until the 1970s. It gained international attention through travel guides and backpackers. In 2018, the island was temporarily closed by the government due to severe environmental issues – an important step toward more sustainable tourism. Among the main attractions are the famous White Beach with its fine white sand, Puka Shell Beach known for its shells, and the viewpoint Mount Luho, which offers a wide panoramic view of the island. Of course you can also find great urban artworks along the streets. The photos were taken by traveller and streetart lover MAZZANTI.
