I wandered over to the Plaza Mayor where they had set up the United Buddy Bears exhibition over the weekend.
The exhibition is comprised of 144 two metre (6½ foot) tall fibreglass bears painted in representation of every country in the world, usually by one of their own renowned and respected local artists, with Australia's Buddy Bear being painted by none other than Ken Done.
The bears are meant to reflect the world coming together as one with the same ideals, goals and understanding, while promoting living together in peace and harmony on their global tour.
