Weathervane Wednesday ~ Two in Segovia, Spain

Weathervane Wednesday is an on-going series of photographs of weather vanes in the Nutfield, New Hampshire area (formerly Derry, Londonderry and parts of Hudson, Windham and Manchester). Some of the weather vanes are historical, some are whimsical, and all are interesting. Today's weather vane was photographed somewhere in Europe.

Do you know the location of weather vanes  #102 and #103? Scroll down to see the answer...

Do you know this location?

There is a good clue just to the left of the taverns.  Look carefully and you can see a huge aqueduct crossing the street in this photograph.  This is the famous Roman aqueduct at Segovia, Spain.  While everyone was busy looking at the aqueduct, I was checking out the weather vanes on top of the buildings nearby.  I found two above a tavern.  I loved the little pig stumbling away from the pitcher (jarra) of wine!  Even the ubiquitous weathercock is unusual compared to American weather vanes of roosters. Did you notice that neither weather vane has the cardinal points?  Anytime I can get a "two for one" weather vane photo, it's a lucky day!
