My parents had this very same picture (even down to the frame) in the living room of the house they lived in when they moved from LA to San Diego. It was 1971 and this Ranch Style house was fully carpeted in gold shag and the furniture was this dark wood, wrought iron & red crushed velvet. I think they thought since they were moving so close to Mexico, a Spanish motif was the way to go. Now you know where I inherited my good taste. :lol:
