Our favorite dinosaur was one who seemed to be fighting a losing battle with the Ice Plants and Orange Fencing.

Huge dinosaur sculptures are arrayed in front of a set of shops (offering, among other things, nautical curiosities, vinyl records, and garden supplies) in "Spanish Town."
The statues don't appear to be the work of a local artisan, and most scrap metal dinosaurs produced these days come from Mexico. And they are for sale. But the size and quantity (about a dozen dinosaurs, along with a giraffe and a few other animals) makes this a worthwhile, free prehistoric attraction with lots of photo opportunities.
[RoadsideAmerica.com Team, 06/25/2016]On narrow and winding Highway 92, heading west from San Mateo into Half Moon Bay, just before reaching the downtown area, is a place called Spanish Town. In front, along the highway, are a family of huge metal dinosaurs, rusting, but still in good condition. Spanish Town is home to several artists.
