A 980km journey to honor the memory of Gabriel Cruz
Basque couple travel 16 hours in an old van to the site where eight-year-old Spanish boy was murdered
Graffiti artists Mikel Herrero and Olaia Chocarro, a couple from San Sebasti¨¢n in northern Spain, got behind the wheel of their old van on March 18 and drove 983 kilometers down to N¨ªjar, in the southern province of Almer¨ªa, with the goal of doing something to honor the memory of Gabriel Cruz, the eight-year-old boy who was recently murdered there, allegedly by his father¡¯s girlfriend.
The trip took them 16 hours, and a chance encounter with the boy¡¯s father led to the idea of creating a mural on the wall of Gabriel¡¯s grandmother¡¯s house ¨C the last place the child was seen alive. The project took three days to complete.
¡°It was a very heartfelt gesture. Gabriel deserves it,¡± says Herrero. ¡°We are very happy, up on a cloud, over the impact our work has had on the family. That¡¯s what we value the most.¡±
