Oviedo
The photo shows Oviedo Cathedral as a backdrop to the statue of La Regenta (the Regent). The Regent (the book by Alas) is a kind of Spanish Madame Bovary but located in an Oviedo probably well recognisable to its late-19th century readers. The book and its author were betes noires in some circles in Oviedo society, but are now regarded as important. There´s a wikipedia summary here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_regenta. I don't know why that's not working but it should work if typed in.
Ivé put a head-and-shoulders photo of the statue in as the extra.
I´ll also put some fragmentary views from round the body of the cathedral on the 7th, 8th and 9th of April.
