Around the World No. 12

Following up some waterfalls I thought I should try something different. This should be easy: [img]https://vivaldi.net/media/com_easysocial/photos/105/49478/around-the-world_original.jpg[/img] edit: Hint: This is a detail view of a building. These things are all over the outer walls. Which building is it? Have fun.
-
Not quite, my heraldic sign is a wild boar hog
Hint: China, Turtle and Clay are wrong. I think the artist would have used the real stuff if it would not rot when exposed to the weather. Everyone knows the original in one or another form.

Is there a bakery in the building, and does the shadow indicate we are in the south some were?
-
No, there is no bakery in the building - at least it was not the last time I was there - but you can buy that in bakeries around that building.
South is right but south is always relative. It is south to me, but north to someone in Melbourne for sure and probably for someone in New York too (<- not sure, I would need to look that up)
-
You are right (βeverythingβ is to the south of us here in Norway). :dry:
Is the building south of The Tropic of Cancer? -
Nope.
Oh, btw: NYC is south of the place where the building is - but only by about 2Β°
Additional hint: A great part of the outer walls of the building is painted in that color and has those things on it. They weren't on it before the last private owner put them on it
-
Is the building in Toronto Canada?
-
wrong by a continent
Additional hint: The colors in the image are the same as in the flag of the region where the building is β¦
-
So we are in China?
-
To quote myself:
@QuHno:Hint: China, Turtle and Clay are wrong.
-
hot - despite that the inhabitants of the region would deny that they are Spanish and that it should be a country of its own
-
A toad you can buy in a bakery? Nah.
BTW: The colors of the Basque flag http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_the_Basque_Country.svg don't look right
-
I don't see blue

We are in Spain β correct?
Are we in Barcelona? -
Not directly Barcelona - about 120km north-east
hint: artist β¦
-
Am I looking for Restaurante Picasso in Palamos?
-
Ta dah!
There we are, Congratulations!
If you should ever come near that region, take a day or two and visit the museum, it is really worth it.
I think there is no other place in the world where you get a better impression of the life and work of Salvador Dali. When I visited it first it was still possible to go really near to the paintings and sculptures and other installations, no glass etc. prevented it. That has changed a little bit but you can still go very close.
And while you are there, buy one of those breads (the yellow things on the wall symbolize them) in one of the bakeries around and eat it with a nice Chorizo - very tasty
