About the poem written near the door!

The poem appears to be traditional and goes back to the days of horse-drawn vehicles. Seen in Villadiego, Burgos, may well be the birth place of the owner of the garage!

 

Meditate humbly when you park your car here-

If you waste you skill and boast of your speed,

Moderate your vanity and take consolation,

that on this very spot when your grandfather arrived in the town´

he tied his donkey to this ring with a cord.
