Google Sightseeing takes you on tour of the world as seen from satellite, using the free Google Earth program, or Google Maps in your web browser. Each weekday your guides James and Alex present new weird and wonderful sights as suggested by readers.
The staff of GGSS would like to wish a very happy Hogmanay (or New Year as everyone else calls it) to all our readers! Since starting our sightseeing adventures in April of this year we’ve had almost two million unique visits, but we’ve got big plans for ‘06 and will continue to expand with new features and new sights. Many thanks for your continued support!

Made with white painted stones, this figure on a hillside near the Spanish village of Orito depicts the saint “San Pascual Bailón” who lived in a cave within these hills during the 16th century.
To the north is a cross and sanctuary where celebrations are held every year on May 17th. More information (loosely translated from spanish) on this page and a ground level shot here (the saint is to the very right hand side).
