Caption: Squatting became popular in Spain in the 1970s, as a result of the shortage of urban accommodation during the rural exodus. It was revived in the mid-1980s during the Movida, under the name of the okupa movement, when thousands of illegal squats were legalized. Influenced by the British Levellers, the movement's popularity rose again during the 1990s, once more due to a housing crisis, this time related to the 1992 Summer Olympics; concomitant urban regeneration, property speculation and house price inflation continues to catalyze okupa activism.

Non-free graffiti This work prominently depicts a work of illegal graffiti which might not be in the public domain and has not been released under a free license. Occasionally graffiti will be kept, using the claim that an author might be rejected any copyright relief based on an illegal act; however, there is no evidence of this legal theory being tested. See Commons:Copyright rules by subject matter#Graffiti. Official Commons policy is Commons:Project scope/Precautionary principle, which declines claims such as "The copyright owner will not bother to sue or cannot afford to." or "Nobody knows who the copyright owner is". Complex understanding of the law may be required to determine whether the graffiti in this work would actually be eligible for copyright enforcement. català | Deutsch | English | español | français | 日本語 | 한국어 | македонски | ไทย | 中文（简体） | +/−
