It is so good to revisit old photos looking for interesting signs that I would never have thought of posting. This was one of the famous bronze pig statues in Segovia Spain.
The town is renowned for a chef that roasted the best suckling pig in Spain chef competition of some sort.

I saw a lot of pigs used as signs in Italy. This one looks quite at home there.

DeleteThe cook was called Cándido, he was famous for cutting roast suckling pigs with plates instead of knives. The restaurant, which is called Cándido, continues with his children, it is next to the famous aqueduct.
ReplyDeleteI was eating there, delicious
Wow, thank you for the detailed explanation! Now I realise it was that famous.
DeleteNot a very accurate statue of a pig, but I like it anyway.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the porker is a distant relative to Adelaide's Rundle Mall pigs.
ReplyDeleteIt is very cute and appropriate advertising!

ReplyDeleteEl cocinero que no recuerdas el nombre supongo es el que tiene el restaurante junto al acueducto, pero existen otros que elaboran un cochinillos asados de gran calidad.
