*** Spot the WATCHED WALKER Logo ***
En Julio del 1957, cruzaba el lago en una barca, con imbitados. Iba bestido de paracaidista, de permiso a Murcia, mi tierra. Poco a poco fui paseando a mi famlia, empezando por la no nacida aún, repitiendo hasta la sexta. En medio, conociendo a mi señora, viví cuatro años. ¡maravilloso, ahora también!. Cuidado con el virus, por favor.
In this video I’ve hidden NINE (9) Watched Walker logos - they could be on buildings, vehicles or anything else, so keep an eye out for them!

Creo que estuve en Madrid Durante 1986-87.
Muchas veces visite esta parque. Muy cerca del puerta del Sol donde vivia.
Amo Madrid. Es mi Segunda madre tierra.
Muchos besos

45:12 fun fact about that statue, its called ‘ el ángel caído ‘ ( translated would be ‘ the fallen angel ‘ ) and it was built at 666 meters above the sea level. not many cities have statues dedicated to the devil, and madrid has two of them (the other one is kinda hidden in a rooftop at Calle Mayor.
