Bronze Pig statue and sign in Segovia for Tom's Sign2

 


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.

    The 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.
    I was eating there, delicious

    Not a very accurate statue of a pig, but I like it anyway.

    Maybe the porker is a distant relative to Adelaide's Rundle Mall pigs.

    El cochinillo es muy famoso en Segovia, y está riquísimo. Un beso.

    La foto me parece genial ese cerdo saliendo de una tienda.
    El 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.
    Deseo que el año que estamos a punto de comenzar sea mejor que el que finalizamos.

    Saludos.
