Comments:
A sign in the series of signs in Madrid, made of clay and depicting in an illustration one of the elements of the street

The street is named after Saint Christopher, who once had a church on the street with his image. Saint Christophoros is the patron saint of travelers, and in many images he appears as a giant holding a large pole in his hand and carrying the child Jesus on his shoulders as they cross a stream. This image appears on the current sign.

The sign was painted by Alfredo Ruiz de Luna Gonzalez
