This week´s theme comes from the lovely Epe and is typical souvenirs from your corner. So I bring you my friends "El Caminante" (The Walker). It is the most popular meeting place in Vitoria. Some of my friends call it "Cojones" as in "¡Cojones! ¿Qué es eso?" Roughly translated it means "¡Caramba! What is that?"... As you can see, he is sporting a lovely yellow and lime green ensemble. People like to dress him up... I have no idea who... or why... but I love their sense of humor...
So how about if we meet at the caminante? You name the time.
Next week´s theme comes all the way from Maine and it´s from Jodi. She had the idea of "love".
I´m up to my wimple in sewing. So i´m going to be a little late visiting you. And thank you again for all your sweet comments. They really make my day, especially when I´m in a total panic thinking I´m never going to finish...
¡Dos besos muy gordos!

It was dressed because of the fashion week of the city.
Lovely photo.
And we could meet when you want.
Besos
That's funny!
I love the walker.....we have so many statues in the city centre, but many have only been erected in the last few years so they haven't yet become as famous as the walker! We have Desperate Dan and Minnie the Minx (statues of comic book characters) and a dragon....Admiral Duncan who won the Battle of Camperdown,....but none as cool as the walker!
It's fun to think of him wearing an item from each of the corners of the world, a special Corner View caminante (hope I spelled that right).

hi jane, My cv in online. In brussels we have a little foutain named Manneken-pis and he has got more than 800 outfits! Take care and sorry for my unperfect english version.
What a funny "personnage" !!! and a pretty pics !! Have a nice busy day ;)
that is an interesting statue.
Nice photo.
I wonder what he'll be wearing next week?
spanish have a true sense of humor !!!
Very funny, I love his look...
oh I love it !! I'd love to meet at the caminante !!
AND I looooooove next week's theme !!
It's funny !! did you ever dressed "him" ?
Sure. See you at the Caminante 2pm, today :D
(Just kidding.)
Good luck with the sewing! You can do it.
See you there! :)
They'll have to give him a coat soon, it's going to get cold!
Nice photo! Is that, (are those) really "Cojones"? Kinda hang-y if they are :) Maybe someone could put some underwear on him once? Still, an amazing statue and is that a magnolia tree? Wow!
jolie écharpe...hi!hi!
ma petite participation est en ligne.
What a "colorful" guy he is! Happy sewing!
We'll meet next SatErday (lol) at El Caminante and I'll bring along my aunty's green with orange polka dot dress. Let's dress him up!!
hello jane
excuse moi, je ne parle pas anglais!

est en ligne.
à bientôt

This is great! I love all the color!
Also, I've been enjoying everyone else's corner views for awhile now, so this week I decided to post my own. Hope you don't mind!
I agree to - "this walker" is funny and little bit strange, like an apparition ! Beautiful photo ! Bises =^^=
What a sense of style! Very elegant and funny!
Very funny statue. :)
Love the way is dressed!
besos tambien
Too much walking: he looks a little on the skinny side to me!
The Walker looks like a fun place to be. Good luck with your sewing!
Victoria looks like a beautiful city. Just name when and I will meet you there. Happy sewing!
Love the garb!!!! so I think he needs a dog collar!!! Don't you?!
If somebody walked away with it as a souvenir, wouldn't they get into trouble?
Probably wouldn't do their back any good either.
hi!
we have had a very, very windy day with lots of rain- he would look quite different here now- i do enjoy his sunny outfit!
have a great week jane!
hugs!!!
oh, i love that guy - it's like having a giant barbie doll - well, sort of! good luck with all the sewing! talk soon!
love the walker. dress him up in something trashy, and he could be the street walker. dress him in old folks clothes and sensible shoes and he could be gramps with the walker. ok, clearly i got up way too early and am just punchy.
but, jane, good luck on your sewing. you can do it! pedal to the metal and all that. xoxo
The guy looks like a nice friendly, cheerful guy I would love to meet. So Spanish - I believe :)
mmmm that's funny.
i'm so sorry because I didn't understand this thing about the trusty boots xD
And I'm sooooo glad that you read my blog (the last posts were really loooong and boring) and you put your comment (I was really waiting for it, you know?)
Lots of big BESACOS!!!!
Hi Jane and all you other Corner View participants--I finally remembered to participate and I look forward to seeing other views as well. That statue is great and I love that people dress him up, too. I think I'd be designing outfits for him.
Sewing--hey, at least you are actually doing it. I so want and need to get to my sewing projects. Enjoy!
He is wonderfully odd - almost Giacometti like! Let's meet at Mr. Cajones and 3pm and then go for a cafe con leche :) Oh, in my dreams...
(cajones? I know another definition ;)
I love that guy and what a corner view! Thanks, Jane...
so funny! I'm loving the outfit - very it's stylin'
He, he love it.
"....up to my wimple in sewing..." I want to see a picture of that! I've never heard that term before but I think it's now my fave :-)
xo
He's sooo stylish!
I love this "caminante", through your blog, i discover Spain in an other way!! thank you!!and my corner view is in my blog!! hasta luego!!besos!!
I love this guy - I would love him in my yard. I'd dress him up, too! Your city is so beautiful, Jane. Have a productive rest of the day and week! (what is a wimple??)
This is so great! What a fun view! I hope you plan to share your sewing project! Hugs!
but if we come visit, are we permitted to take 'caminante' home when we go?
he fabulous!

Oh I am done, my cv is pretty ready to be seen, or bought a souvenir if liked:)
Meeting at Caminante seems like familiar for me. I heard this story before, and I'm a lover of these type of corners and squares as they are typically public places where folks like to come together for sharing and fun, fun, fun.
mh , I was hoping for some bullfighting posters,lol
this is just the kind of stuff i like to find in the street. how i enjoy wondering who dressed el caminante, why they chose that clothing, whether it was on a whim or planned...
p.s. your wimple? off to google...
Very cool! I'm sure he's sported some fun looks!
Hi! I like your corner view, I actually managed to do one, and I am looking forward to next weeks too. I know *exactly* what I'm going to do for it :o)
Good luck with your sewing hope you get it all done soon
i finally did a corner view today! mostly because i found a sparkly "souvenir" that i'd love to have taken home...
am i officially one of your peeps now?
xoxox,
/j
This is so original! Love it! Although it's true- when I say this photo the first thing that came to my mind was: what can it be?
Have a beautiful day Jane!

it's a funny walker. always at the same place ;-) like his style*
He is awesome and I love the attire!
cheeky neighbours you have in vitoria ;)
have you knitted a scarf for him yet? it's getting chilly in autumn...
Meet up anytimeat the caminante! But my favourite time would be dusk, just after sunset and just before dark. And you could take a little break from your sewing... My cv's will continue, hopefully next week, moving just puts so many things to the side...
even the European STATUES dress better than Americans...
great shot Jane.
love the walker. i could not point in to one souvenir so i did the most favs.
I had such fun being an unofficial participant this week! Next week, will you add me to the list? Thanks!
yes I found a linen shop, I need to learn few more words of polish and then I will buy the entire shop !!!
How strange it is but pleasant, isn't it? Nice picture anyway.
I'm late this week. Typical souvenirs from Paris are difficult to choose but my cv is posted. Have a great week!
hi jane! i don't know if it's too late to be part of this souvenir corner view... however i posted it yesterday!! i just was inspired! i'll do the next one too!
i will translate it for u later on!
besos tambien hehe!!
I love this yellow man.
Bises jane
I LOVE your rough translation ;-) Are you making new collars or sewing something else? BsosXOXO
I love those natural meeting places. So fun to just sit there and watch the people waiting and meeting.
Love to meet you there!
-x-
that's a scary looking walking man...I'd dress him up too...hehe
My cv is late this week...
I have internet on my PC now..yay!!
But now to find the time to take those photos I want to post. grr..
