Murfin’s ‘Niños Perdidos’ Named Spain’s Top Mural, Ranks Third Worldwide in 2025

The ranking boosts the profile of Fuenlabrada’s open-air museum as a hub for public muralism.

Overview

  • The local Popular Party filed a complaint alleging the city ran an irregular data-collection drive tied to a raffle to gather votes for the contest, citing a lack of clear data-controller details and required privacy information.
  • Street Art Cities’ 2025 list placed the Fuenlabrada mural third globally behind works in Greece (“Kalamata”) and Serbia (“Deep reflection”).
  • The large-format piece sits on the lateral facade at 1 Calle del Tesillo, is visible from the adjacent plaza, and forms part of the Museo de Arte Urbano de Fuenlabrada.
  • The artwork depicts a girl hugging a toy crocodile rendered across the full facade with strong colors and an expressive gaze.
  • Mayor Javier Ayala publicly celebrated the accolade, as other Madrid-region works also ranked, including Sfhir’s “Fireman” in fourth place and Leyvel’s “Follow your Star” in tenth with an augmented‑reality viewing created with Ricardo Rolland.
