Indalo (Mojacar Man)<\/a><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Indalo<\/strong>\u00a0is an ancient Andalusian symbol. The original image,dating from Neolithic times, can still be seen in the \u201cCave of the Signboards\u201d at Almeria, in Southern Spain.\u00a0He appears as the figure of a man carrying a rainbow between his hands, alongside figures of animals, horned men, and a number of odd symbols.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The name Indalo is derived from the latin phrase \u201cIndal Eccius,\u201d or \u201cMessenger of the Gods.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Indalo\u2019s original meaning and purpose has been lost, but it most likely represents a Shaman or a God figure.Today, the figure is closely associated with the village of Mojacar, and is used there as a symbol of luck and good fortune, and to ward off evil. Like the Native American\u00a0Kokopelli<\/a>, he is often emblazoned on businesses, homes, and souvenirs for tourists.<\/span><\/p>\n
