Some municipalities in Spain are hiring graffiteros to cover the urban scene with their colourful creations.PARACUELLOS / ALMERIA -- Have municipal governments given up, knuckling under to the plague of graffiti?
Graffitists used to be arrested if caught and slapped with fines, which have been jacked up drastically by the regional government of Madrid.
Yet now some municipalities are actually hiring graffiteros to cover walls with their colourful productions. 
The downside, for the graffitero, is a certain degree of self-censorship and tameness in the content of what you paint on the wall.
The graffiti culture is an essentially rebellious one, and many graffiteros would refuse to prostitute their talent by painting pictures of Popeye or Mickey Mouse on kindergarten walls.
But, at the age of 18, Raul Gualix takes a more pragmatic view: "They pay me to do it, and besides I can practice without pressure, using my sprays on a wall to best advantage," he explains, while he points to some of his drawings.
Some weeks ago the town council of Paracuellos del Jarama, a small town to the east of Madrid's Barajas airport, commissioned him to decorate the walls in several local kindergartens.
He admits that he has no total freedom on what to draw as it is commission work.
"Since it's a school, they called for pictures the kids would recognise."
For his more personal drawings, Raul looks for walls in abandoned factories - "but always legal," he points out.
Underground is a key word in the graffiti culture. And when an underground art comes into contact with officialdom, it tends to become denatured, losing its rebellious and forbidden character.
But Raul remains pragmatic: "There aren't many opportunities to fill a whole space with your work, put your name on it and show people what you can do."
