A Madrid mural celebrating several prominent women has been saved from erasure after critics sought its removal, arguing it had a "political message".

The 60m (197ft) mural was painted on a sports centre in 2018 in the Ciudad Lineal area of the Spanish capital.

Singer Nina Simone, civil-rights activist Rosa Parks and painter Frida Kahlo are among the women featured.

Last week, the far-right Vox party led an effort to have the mural removed.
