Happy Anniversary, Swyeeti

[Destination: Spain] El Abominable Hombre de España

We goin' to: ¡España! 

In Madrid, at the Cuarto Milenio Exposition, you can pose by this yeti statue:

And this is from a Spanish news report about the exposition:

Check out this creepy doorway at the Parque de Atracciones Monte Igueldo in San Sebastien:

Recently painted white to make it more abominable:

The poster for December's Fira del Llibre de Valencia (book festival in Valencia) has yetis on it!

Los Chimplonitos is a fantasy kids film that is in the works. Here's some behind-the-scenes pics of the yeti:

He loves the yeti. Particularly of the multi-eyed variety.

[Multi-eared Monday] Throwback: Sol Katmandu Park

Back in 2007, I blogged about a tourist attraction called "The House of Katmandu" which had this animatronic statue inside -  a stave-wielding, monk-friendly, sort of mogwai-esque, multi-eared yeti.
 

UPDATE: there's now a big hotel resort in Mallorca called Sol Katmandu Park, which uses the same multi-eared yeti, plus a pink female counterpart, as its mascots.

And there appears to be other multi-eared yeti characters  as well:

The character is used in their promotional materials:

For their holiday card:

And they put together an online picture book for kids:

They even had a giant statue of him climbing up the side of the hotel!

And the original animatronic is there if you want to gawp in abject wonder.
