For #StandingStoneSunday this is the Arrival Monolith in #Baiona, #Spain, not far from #Vigo. This stone was only erected in 1965 and it serves to commemorate the arrival of the caravel #LaPinta to this small port in 1493. #Pinta was one of the three ships of #ChristopherColumbus on his expedition to the New World the year before, and it was Pinta's return that broke news of the discoveries to Europe.
