The hip, bustling neighborhood of Malasa\u00f1a is undoubtedly one of the most popular areas in the city to grab a bite to eat or go out for locals, tourists, and students alike. Walking down one of its most emblematic streets, Calle Pez, you\u2019ll find an array of caf\u00e9s, restaurants, and bars, as well as a surprising burst of greenery.<\/p>\n
Artist Juan P\u00e9rez, who has lived in the neighborhood for several decades, wanted to make the area greener, and also encourage people to be more conscious and not leave trash and cigarettes on the streets. What started off as a few planters placed around the street has become a much bigger project. Now, the artist uses old trousers and shoes as flower pots to display his plants.
\nIt\u2019s definitely worth taking a stroll down Calle Pez and\u2014 you never know\u2014 you may even see Juan or the other neighbors watering and cultivating this thoughtful community garden that is meant for all to enjoy.<\/p>\n
