From the path of cheaters to the tunnel of graffiti... In La Vanguardia's Readers' Photos we can see a summary of ten curious images, of complaints or with a message collected this week in The Reader's Mailbox.

Original name of a street in the town of Los Ogijares, in Granada: Camino de los Traposos. Apparently, its name comes from the use of this road to avoid paying entry taxes in the city of Granada in the past.

In Caldes de Montbui, in the Vallès Oriental, they have had these pot-shaped lights this Christmas. A pot that, by the way, can even be found in the town's coat of arms.

And the pot gained importance because, a few days of the year, local products are cooked in the town with the thermal water here. In addition to the fair where this food is made and served, the pot is also famous for being the largest in Catalonia.

On Riu Cardener Street in Girona, for 46 consecutive years, an imposing fir tree has congratulated the Christmas holidays with solemnity and presence to all the homes in the area and passers-by.

This is thanks to the enthusiasm and effort of a popular gardener, a citizen of Burkina Faso, who takes punctual care of its assembly and disassembly.

Are we really in winter? This is the question I asked myself when I captured this photograph of the flowers in Igualada.

Many gifts and little awareness of recycling this Christmas, at least, that's what it seems when you see this photograph.

I share the photo of a man absorbed in the middle of the city reading La Vanguardia.

The owner of the apartment at number 2 Balmes Street in Barcelona has been concerned about making Jaume Balmes known with a commemorative ceramic that brings great joy. It is necessary to applaud these citizen initiatives.

In Tarragona, queues first thing in the morning to have breakfast and, in the afternoon, to have a snack and, at dawn, to hold on... Churros are what they have, a traditional and extremely necessary product.

Unfortunate location of the bus stop that prevents the full view of the sculpture Form y espacio, by Eudald Serra, in Barcelona.

I share this photograph of the access passage to the Madrid park of El Retiro. As you can see, it is a paradise of graffiti and love verses written on its walls.
