A curious corner in Madrid, Spain
This pillar is the consequence of a custom dating back years! Travellers passing through the ancient feudal town of Molina de Aragon piled up stones at the side of the road to bring good luck on their journeys. With the passing of time these became decorated pillars (pairones or peirones). This one was presented to Madrid and placed here in 1987 on the corner of Calle de Serrano and Calle Maria de Molina.
