Selena Quintanilla-Perez was an amazing Tejano singer who truly made a lasting impact on people all around the world. She was affectionately known as the Queen of Tejano Music, and it's no surprise why. Her music was incredible, and even today, her legacy remains alive and well through her timeless songs. One of the most beautiful ways that Selena is remembered is through the Selena Memorial Statue, also known as Mirador de la Flor or Overlook of the Flower. This stunning memorial serves as a tribute to this incredible artist. Be sure to visit the Paseo de la Flor, the walkway below the memorial. Here, you can see homemade tiles created by South Texas school children and senior citizens, making it a truly special place to visit.
