CultureVisit: ~30 minFree
Alley in the Mission district covered in murals that began to be painted in the 1970s. It is the heart of the Mission's mural art and is closely tied to the neighbourhood's Latino community. The murals cover walls and garages along a single block. They are renewed over time and the alley is easy to walk.
