Not a chocolate shop. Not a restaurant. Just the most photogenic pig on Tejon Street.
Bronze Pig Installation
If you're walking down South Tejon expecting a chocolatier, you might be confused. Truffles is a bronze masterpiece by artist Walt Horton, permanently installed on the sidewalk.
It’s a staple of the Springs' "Art on the Streets" culture. Locals use it as a meeting point, kids climb on it, and it’s arguably the most patient photo subject in El Paso County.

You've seen the pig. Now what? Here is how a conservation-minded local spends an hour on Tejon.
Don't walk empty-handed. Skip the chains; support the local roasters within two blocks.
Truffles isn't alone. Downtown Springs is full of sculptures. Keep walking north towards Acacia Park.
It's public art. Treat the space with respect, leave no trace, and help preserve the city vibes.
