This week’s Monday Mural, is a map from Guadalupe, California. The map marks out a good part of California (And you can see Nevada and the Pacific Ocean, too). There’s a hand that seems to be saying ‘you are here,’ and also labeled are a few places like Fresno, Monterey, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Palm Springs.
It looks like there’s even information on how far from Guadalupe, these better-known Californian cities are. People driving through may not use it but it’s a nice touch to the mural, which is a ‘map-on-the-wall.’
Map from Guadalupe
Guadalupe, CA
Guadalupe is a small town on California’s Central Coast. It is situated by the famous Highway 1 (The Pacific Coast Highway), and on the northwestern corner of Santa Barbara County. The biggest attraction near here is a large coastal dune system.
We were on a trip to the Central Coast and after having seen a bit of Pismo and Avila Beach, and trying a drive on the beach at Oceano Dunes (I can’t say I enjoyed it. :-\. But it is the only motorable beach in CA), we had decided to go see the dunes.
Our plan was to take a trail here at Guadalupe but that didn’t work out. So we drove back north and towards the coast at Nipomo, a few miles from here. We took the Oso Flaco Lake Trail and hiked to Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes.

I’ve driven that stretch of highway from Santa Barbara northward a few times, but I don’t remember that town. It’s a breathtaking coast.

It’s a small little town, Mae. Oh yes! it’s beautiful around here. The sand dunes near here are a must-see. 🙂
Thank you for your visit.

What a great find. I’ve driven the PCH near there before, but must have been asleep at the wheel because I don’t remember Guadalupe.
Oh gosh! 😀
No…not at the wheel, please. 🙂

Great idea for a mural. The brick makes for such a wonderful background and the colour is amazing. Great find!

Glad I found your photo. I took photo of wall in 2002(was much fresher then strong colours and clear wording. Sadly didn’t get right and lower section missing. I was cycling route 1 from eureka to San Diego so wanted this to show whole route on this mural. Now I have it! Thank you.
