*PALMA, MALLORCA* - Living Statue; The Gold Miner

Inscription:- none.
Sculptor:- I didn't get the bloke's name.
Unveiled:- 9th July, 2015.
Notes:- I was expecting loads of statues in Palma but there were very few so I decided to have a picture taken next to a chap posing as a gold-plated miner in one of the squares. He gave me a surly look when I stood next to him, but I put a € into his pot after the photo-shoot yo cheer him up (mind you it took about 10 tries before I was happy with the lighting and depth of focus).
