The hidden and must-see treasures can now be experienced as part of a brand-new Walking Tour with knowledgeable guides representing the best of La Jolla. This is the perfect option for visitors who want to get a little exercise as well as a taste of all that this charming, historic community has to offer.

Tour highlights will include the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, La Jolla Historical Society, La Jolla Cove, Children’s Pool, La Valencia Hotel, and Murals of La Jolla to name a few. The cost of the tour is $125 per person and includes a “Taste of the Cove” with sample cuisine and cocktails from several unique La Jolla Village eateries.

All three of these books would make great gifts for gardeners and armchair oglers alike, and may tempt you to book a garden tour — or maybe even plant some bulbs and seeds yourself.

Harold López-Nussa: “Timba a la Americana” features López-Nussa on piano and his brother, Ruy Adrian López-Nussa, on drums. Cuban pianist and composer Harold López-Nussa sets out to capture the stirring sensation of walking the streets of Havana with an exhilarating marriage of jazz and Cuban pop music. López-Nussa has built a global following in jazz and beyond, having burst upon the international scene when he won first prize in the solo piano competition at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 2005. He has gone on to play the world’s leading jazz venues and festivals. His tight-knit quartet captivates audiences with a driving vivaciousness that “bridges generations and genres” (Billboard). His music reflects the full range and richness of Cuban music, with its distinctive combination of classical, folkloric, and popular elements, in addition to a virtuosic embrace of jazz improvisation and interaction. DownBeat wrote, “López-Nussa’s single-note grace is akin to Herbie Hancock’s, and his two-fisted attacks are as joyous as Chick Corea’s.” Related links: Athenaeum Music and Arts Library website | Instagram | Facebook Harold López-Nussa website | Instagram
