No. It's a beautiful calm place. The Canarians don't do that.Taipan wrote: Wed Feb 17, 2021 8:20 pmI bet there is something in the Castillo San Gabriel in Arrecife!Yorick wrote: Wed Feb 17, 2021 8:05 pmWe both love to deep research and explore, but nothing like that.Bigyin wrote: Wed Feb 17, 2021 7:31 pm

Memorials are calm places. Somewhere for people to remember and reflect, a place of and for respect...Yorick wrote: Wed Feb 17, 2021 8:25 pmNo. It's a beautiful calm place. The Canarians don't do that.

I've been to Normandy landing sites and many, many similar around Europe.
Nothing here.

Apparently, "The entrance to the Castillo San José is ‘guarded’ by two large Spanish nineteenth century heavy howitzers".

Or pop over to Tenerife! Plaza d’España in Santa Cruz, the square is dominated by a monument to the fallen of the Spanish Civil War. It'd be very unusual and I'd even say disrespectful for any country to not honour their fallen with amonument!

I was browsing on phone on patio, but came inside to reply on the PC.
That area is lovely and now all traffic calmed. Yes, even your gay scooters

Re: The riding challenge game. Pic of your bike 'somewhere'
Not exactly a War Memorial, and my bike is annoyingly just out of shot, but it was parked next to memorial to the concentration camp in Albetera (set up during the dictatorship of Franco) where more than 25,000 died/were murdered. Closed in 1939 just two months after WWII started.
It is said that Rudolph Hess visited the camp before the Nazi's started building their concentration camps.

Had a fabulous first blast for months (and months) on the 765 this afternoon, great fun albeit got shaken to bits, the roads around here really aren't suited to the suspension settings its currently wearing but that's another story
Anyway, my hooning took me past a nice little memorial by a village green, so I stopped and took a pic, and here we are

Does the Commando Memorial at Spean Bridge count?
