Thoae are some cool and colorful statues scattered around the city! I've never heard the word 'meninas' used in a Spanish-speaking country, knowing it previously only from Portuguese (and the Brazilian variant at that), meaning 'muchachas'. Walking around the city in search of pretty statues sounds pretty enjoyable! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

The walk was a lot of fun. And yes the word menina is from Portuguese. But also is the name of a famous paint by the Spanish painter Diego Velasquez, called Las Meninas. It refers to the young ladies at the service of the infanta (daughter of the king), who are portrayed in the painting.
Have a great day 😄
