Around the Block

Chico Tropical

On Las Ramblas, waiting for DD to come out of a course preparation session, I spotted this colourful chap doing some human statue work in the purest form of his calling; standing absolutely still, hardly even blinking, without asking for money for a photo, or moving or interacting with the crowd when he heard his can rattle, so unlike most these days who can be very demanding hyper active showmen!

Of course, I dropped a nice coin in his can and, thank goodness, there was no 'gracias' hissed out between his shining teeth! I couldn't ask him his name and so you can decide your own for him! To me he's simply 'Chico Tropical'!
