The
Spanish Spaceman
Salamanca
is a small town in Spain. And, it has two very impressive
cathedrals. One new and one old. And, the one that is new has
something of interest.
While
the new cathedral was being restored,
the restorers
decided
to add something new and exciting. They added a spaceman!
And,
there he still is, this Spanish spaceman of stone. He's easy to
find. He's floating for ever beside the main door.
Last
century,
a spaceman came down to earth. And now, Salamanca's his home.
Salamanca. Two great cathedrals. One old and one new. Spain is
great for surprises.
