This is the drummer of el Bruc

Wed 16 Mar 22: I spent three nights in Santpedor and there’s an Altstadt with a square where there’s this statue. According to Wikipedia:

‘The Drummer of El Bruc is a Spanish legend derived from what happened during the Battle of El Bruc in the Peninsular War. According to the legend, the French defeat was due to a young boy who played the drums during the battle, the sound of which, echoing in the surrounding mountains, convinced the French troops that the number of their enemies was actually much larger than it really was. The name of the drummer is said to have been Isidro Llusá y Casanovas (1791–1809), a peasant born in the nearby Santpedor’.

Santpedor is also famous as the birthplace of Pep Guardiola, Manager of Man City.
