Shoefiti Strikes Madrid
Learn more about the Madrid, Spain shoefiti scene at Efervescente:
Hace unos días, paseando por el barrio de las letras en Madrid, me llamó la atención una cosa curiosa. Al levantar la vista al girar la calle León, descubrí unas zapatillas colgando de un cable de la luz. Al principio podía parecer cualquier broma típica de una fiesta por la noche, una broma que le han hecho al colega bambálico de turno. Hoy, ojeando la revista 74EME, descubro un movimiento llamado Shoefiti.
If anyone can help out with a translation in the comments, go for it.

I’ll do my best for translating that article:
“Some days ago, when walking through the Letters Area in Madrid, something strange required my attention. When I look up at turning in Leon str., I found a pair of shoes hanging from the light wiring. It could seem at a first eye a joke typical of a night party, a joke made to a guy. Today, having a look to the magazine 74EME, I discovered a movement called shoefiti.”
Hope it is useful. K.R.

Translation (more or less):
“Some days ago, hanging around in Las Letras neighbourhood, something curious surprised me. Looking up, at the León street, i’ve found a pair of sneakers hanging on a electric wire. I’ve thouht that it could be a typical joke from a night’s binge, a joke that somebody played on a stupid boy. Today, having a look at the 74EME magazine, i’ve discovered a movement called Shoefiti.”
Greetings from Spain.

This is what I got from Babelfish:
Days ago, taking a walk by the district of the letters in Madrid, a peculiar thing drew attention to me. When rising the view when turning the Leon street, I discovered slippers hanging of a cable of the light. At the outset it could at night seem any typical joke of a celebration, a joke that has done the bambálico colleague to him of turn. Today, staring at the magazine 74EME, I discover a called movement Shoefiti.

an i-think-i-remember-spanish translation. it’s a little vague and/or literal in places.
“one day, as i was going through the Huertas (literary neighborhood) in Madrid, my attention was called by a curious thing. Above eye level (high up) at the corner of Leon street, i noticed shoes hanging from a light cable (power line). at first it appeared to be any joke typical of a party from the night, a joke that would be done by a buddy… Today, when i looked at 74EME magazine, i discovered the movement called shoefiti.”
