Monday Morning Photo - The Biggest Mortar and Pestle in the World, Macael
The biggest Mortar and Pestle in the World is found is the small backwater town of Macael in the province of Almeria in Andalucia, southern Spain. Recognised as so by the Guinness Book of Records and taking the title from the city of Salinas in Porto Rico. It is 3.29 metres tall, the internal mouth is 3.07 metres and it weighs in at 5.82 tons.
Where better to have the biggest Mortar and Pestle than a town with a marble quarry. It also has a replica of the famous Lion Fountain in the Alhambra, Granada.
