Indalo Man

The wind has dropped and the temperature has risen, but at least it is not humid.

The Indalo Man is an ancient symbol which was found in the province of Almeria over 100 years ago.   It was found in a cave known as La Cueva de Los Letreros (Cave of the Signboards).   The cave was made a National Historic Monument in 1924 and the symbol is said to date back to Neolithic times and seems to depict a man holding a rainbow over his head and is thought to be a God holding the rainbow to protect the people.

It is of course now sold as jewelry, on pottery, hats, key rings, in fact anything, and we have heard it said that it is unlucky to buy something with the symbol on for yourself, it has to be bought for you.

this is on our Balcony wall and by the look of it it is going a bit rusty!
