The anti-graffiti CSI against the scourge that floods Madrid: "More and more tourists come to the capital to leave their signature" In 2021, municipal cleaning services removed 167,693 square meters of vandalistic graffiti, something that increased by 92% in 2022. In 2023, and until November alone, 561,500 square meters were cleaned, 72% more than the previous year.

The last hunt took place during the early hours of this past Friday. A group of six twenty-somethings painted graffiti (or tags) in the Plaza de la Villa.
