Caganer

(En español en Urban Sketchers Spain)

For those who don't know about the caganer this can seem a joke, but it's actually a very serious-funny issue over here. In this case, the humongous caganer I drew this afternoon is the Christmas decoration of a shoping mall near the Port of Barcelona.

This video explains something about the assembly and installation.

  3. Miguel---You've introduced me to something I've never heard of before! Thanks for that.

    My favorite line from the Wikipedia article:

    "The Caganer represents the equality of all people: regardless of status, race, or gender, everyone shits."

    Good to remember :)
