Hi there, I'm back ;-)
Found this little graffiti-guy on a wall, it made me smile. And it seems that I found Wally ;-D
Where's Wally? (known in North America as Where's Waldo?) is a series of children's books created by the English illustrator Martin Handford. The books consist of a series of detailed double-page spread illustrations depicting dozens or more people doing a variety of amusing things at a given location. Readers are challenged to find a character named Wally hidden in the group. Wally's distinctive red-and-white-striped shirt, bobble hat, and glasses make him slightly easier to recognize. ( WiKi)

"La Ruta de Murales Artísticos de Estepona" (Estepona’s Route of Artistic Murals) is an incentive implemented by the local council and the mayor, Jose Maria Garcia Urbano that was started in September 2012. The route is just one part of a local rejuvenation project.
The objective was to improve and enliven some of Estepona’s forgotten or neglected neighbourhoods and it was hoped that the series of murals that are spread across the town would put Estepona on the tourist map and make it a cultural destination. It was clearly a successful initiative and looking at the wide variety of murals it is clear to see why tourists and residents alike are eager to follow the route and view each of the murals (information by Marianne Hill).
‘Una Flor de Futuro’ (A flower of the future) can be found on Calle Nuestra Señora in Barriada Los Remedios. This mural is by Jose Fernandez Rios and was inaugurated in November 2013.
The artist intended for it to be not just a very lifelike representation of a flower and the sea but also for it to appear as a mirror. Just a few metres away on a roundabout in front of the mural is a sculpture of the same flower also created by J.F Rios but in this instance made of metal. If you stand in the correct position it does indeed appear as though the sculpture is reflected in the mural.

"Regando el Jardin" (Watering the Garden) is the third mural by Jose Fernandez Rios.
This mural, which covers a wall measuring 240m, depicts a child watering a tree.
In typical J.F Rios style this mural is an optical illusion and it looks as if the girl is watering the real tree that has been planted in the street. The combination of the pictorial and lifelike elements create an eye catching image and the artist intended it to symbolise his hope that the future generation will respect and care for nature.
It was inaugurated in November 2014 and is located on Avenida Andalucia in Barriada de las Fuerzas Armadas.
