The cross in the corner

 A guide here in Cuenca pointed out a cross similar to the one above painted in the corner where two buildings come together. He asked if I knew why it was there.

 I did not.

“It is to stop men from urinating in this corner. You will see many around town,” he explained.

While I am not overly religious, this method of getting me to pee somewhere else would work just fine. As would a Star of David or the name of Allah painted in such places.

Why tempt fate?
