It's hard to believe there was a time when San Jose's walls were bereft of murals. There are so many downtown now that it's hard to keep up with them all. The newest — for now, at least — is a colorful mural celebrating Mexican heritage and San Jose at the old Valley Title building at South First and San Carlos streets. Created by Artes Luis Fernandez Luna, who was born in Guadalajara, Mexico, the mural includes images of a cactus, an eagle and a heart — all symbols commonly found in Mexican art — as well as the sun graphic used in the City of San Jose logo.
