Actually, the Angel, stands at the top of Vendrell's chucrch belfry and it's an icone of the town. On this cinderella, you can see the replacement, by a US Navy helicopter, of the angel, after restoration. The text, is written just in Spanish, English and French. Our own language, Catalan, was banned.  |
