This statue is even better in person… after staring at it for 30 seconds, I decided Sr Fernandez was 50-50 “don’t fuck with me” and “come, let us eat.”

After reading his Wikipedia page (with a little help from Google translate), I think that’s about right. Maybe the third half of his personality was “you’re wearing that?”

He founded and ran a big department store more or less till his death. After he passed, the store was absorbed by his great frenemy store El Corte Inglés.
