A Gas Station in Madrid, Spain for Weathervane Wednesday

 This gas station is located at 229 Calle de Bravo Murillo, Madrid, Spain

This little gas station is located on the corner of Calle de Lope de Haro and Calle de Bravo Murillo in Madrid, Spain. My husband spotted this while out walking in Madrid recently. The weathervane is not visible from Bravo Murillo, the main boulevard, but if you turn down Calle de Lope de Haro and then turn around and look back you will see this old weathervane.  It is a simple two dimensional silhouette of an old sedan, probably dating back decades to when there was a much smaller gas station on this corner. There are no cardinal points on this weathervanes, and no evidence that there ever were any on the post.  Now the big red canopy blocks the view of the weathervane from pedestrians. 

My mother-in-law and her family has lived in this neighborhood since the 1970s and there has always been a "gasolinera" on this corner.
