Five fiberglass horses inhabit the Hotel Plaza Inn balcony balustrades in Figueres, Girona, Spain. The retired carousel equines, on exhibit one story above the sidewalk, add to the delightful views of Pujada del Castell street scenery. Each is different from the others in size, style, pose, and painting as they gallop across the entire façade.

Fun note: Artist Bill Griffith based his Zippy The Pinhead comic strip "Natural State" (31 July 2007) at this real world location. In this episode, a sit-by-me clown statue and Zippy banter in his typical free-associative poetry style about medication, laughs, smiles and Albania. (Waymark Code: WM1862F)

[CAT] Cinc cavalls de fibra de vidre habiten les balustrades dels balcons de l'Hotel Plaza Inn a Figueres, Girona, Espanya. Els equins de carrusel retirats, que s'exhibeixen a un pis per sobre de la vorera, afegeixen la vista encantadora del paisatge del carrer Pujada del Castell. Cadascun és diferent dels altres en mida, estil, posada i pintura, ja que galop per tota la façana.

Nota divertida: l'artista Bill Griffith va basar la seva tira còmica Zippy The Pinhead "Natural State" (31 de juliol de 2007) en aquesta ubicació del món real. En aquest episodi, una estàtua de pallasso assegut a mi i una broma de Zippy en el seu típic estil de poesia d'associació lliure sobre medicaments, rialles, somriures i Albània.
