His Royal Orangeness Carlos Guillermo and I were admiring the ornate catafalque in front of us. Instead of ordinary pillars, it had four human figures representing the Kingdoms of Castile, Aragon, Navarre, and Leon.
Then there was this loud comment from the girl behind us in a North American accent "I wonder who he is!"
HRO Carlos Guillermo and I looked at each other, bemused. Seriously, every frigging city in Spain has an avenida or plaza named after the man whose remains were inside the coffin resting on the shoulders of those Kingly pillars. More so, how could the North American girl not know who Cristobal Colon was and what he did?
