Huesito's Evening Stroll
One sweet smile from Huesito was all it took. Join Abuelo and his curious little companion as they wander through Old Town, discovering dragons, mushrooms, murals, and the quiet magic hidden around every corner.
Huesito Becomes a Rockhound
Huesito decided it was time to become a rockhound. Armed with curiosity and a keen eye for "the perfect rock," he joined the search for the next gemstone at La Esquinas. His first adventure proves that every rock—and every explorer—has a story waiting to be uncovered.
The Discovery of LaEsquinas
Before Roger arrived and the lot became a community gathering place, the colorful murals of Memuco transformed a simple parking lot into an outdoor gallery. El Dragón Cambiante stretches along the fence while The Watchful Four stand guard at the corner, welcoming visitors to La Esquinas in Old Town San Diego.
The Discovery of Roger
A forgotten 1976 Dodge W100 discovered in a California front yard becomes one of the most unexpected discoveries at La Esquinas—a truck restored piece by piece and transformed into a future rolling canvas.
El Dragón Cambiante: The Changing Dragon
Painted by Memuco along the Twiggs Street fence, El Dragón Cambiante changes as you walk past it, revealing new colors, shapes, and details from every angle. One of La Esquinas' hidden treasures, the dragon rewards those who slow down and look closer.
Edition IV — Viva la Vida
A celebration of life, beauty, and resilience, Viva La Vida invites visitors to embrace color, creativity, and the spirit of renewal. Inspired by the enduring legacy of Frida Kahlo, the mural reminds us to live fully and bloom wherever we are planted.
Edition V — Mar de Flores
Where flowers move like waves between land and sea, Mar de Flores celebrates the beauty of transformation, imagination, and connection. Blending ocean life, vibrant blooms, and cultural symbolism, the mural invites visitors into a world where nature and creativity flow together.
Edition I — Spirit of Old Town
