A badly placed canopy

Málaga, historical archive

While drawing this urban scene, a thought came to my mind: somebody in the local transport company decided the location for the bus stop watching a street plan, and never came to the site. Otherwise the canopy would have not been placed in front of this nice building, partially hiding its finely carved gate. I can assure that the actual view is worse than in my drawing, I tried not to put a stress on the steel structure!
I also remembered something I saw here some time ago, during the world football cup: a small but noisy crowd gathered in front of the balcony with the two flags. It was then when I learnt Paraguay had a consulate in Málaga, and how enthusiastic they were supporting their team!
