Incomplete Indalo Almería [158096]

#1 Post by Kanti » 14 Apr 2021 21:43

When driving through Almería in southern Spain, I noticed the monument of the Indalo in the middle of a roundabout, which is almost exactly like in real life, but it is missing its 'arms' (which I so helpfully drew in blue on the screenshot).

I don't think this is a complicated thing to 'fix' but I don't really know to be honest.
It's not a trademark or anything like that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indalo

The roundabout is the one marked on the map below:

The real-life counterpart is located here: https://goo.gl/maps/WtaRi2yCLQWmTuCA9
And looks like this (street view image):

I am not from Almería myself but I bet people who are from there would really love it if their Indalo would be complete.

OK, so this is not actually a bug but it can bug some people in Almería :lol: There's a substantial cultural difference between these 2 both concepts below.

This is an índalo, a really old cave painting. The "rainbow" is missing (some people argue it's something else).

This is an inocente, it's a symbol of pranks. One of the oldest pranks in Spain is sticking one of these on sb's back without them noticing.

I didn't know it was a rainbow! Cool!

Are you saying the makers pranked people from Almería by combining the two concepts, haha?

Yeah not really a bug, but didn't know where to post it and figured the mods would put it in the right place. I know, shame on me.

I don't know what their intention was, probably they didn't know at the time of creating the object what it meant and thought that the arch was not important. I suggested a while back in the pre-research topic adding some índalo in the area of Almería, I've lived there for a while and I know when a trucker is from Almería just by looking at the índalos decals and vynils on their trucks. I ignored that there was an índalo statue on the roundabout leading to El Alquián.

I'm not from Almería but I go there almost every year for a few weeks (Pozo de Los Frailes), and I must say they did a great job recreating the surroundings. From the I [tomato] Almería roundabout to the off ramp for the airport, and yes even the Índalo roundabout, even though it's missing the arc. I was very amazed at how much I recognised from real life when I 'drove' through it.
