With Anthony, who has just returned from Barcelona and Sant Pol de Mar, also came a small gift from Mario and Dario.
It 's a sundial in miniature. The sundial is one of the symbols of Sant Pol, in addition to the hermitage, of course.
In reality it is a good joke.
It is said that once at St. Pol had built a beautiful sundial but unfortunately the rain and bad weather had soon grown old.
The villagers then came together to find a solution and who approved the idea was to build a broad canopy over it to protect her from bad weather.
Unfortunately, they realized that the roof would have prevented the sun to create his shadow against the wall and then the sundial would become useless losing his serve to indicate the time.
Since then all the inhabitants of neighboring countries when they see someone of Sant Pol, they said
"Six of Sant Pol, what time is it?"
As you can see the small sundial that I have received has its roof.
