Everyone knows these...the scallop shell wine taps at Estella:


Many spanish towns on the Frances have some sort of artistic designed shells in the middle of the road or in roundabouts, e.g. Burgos, Leon and Astorga. This one is from Santo Domingo de la Calzada:


The baptismal font in Villafranca Montes de Oca:


In Agés, I got the breakfast butter in a shell:


That's it from Spain, maybe I have some more pictures from France, I'll have to do some research...

When we passed through Villa Montes de Oca, the church was being repaired and the shell was in the vestry. Nice to see it back where it belongs. We wanted to see the shell as it came from the Philippines, and we had lived there for a while.
