At the top, there are crossed keys: this is the symbol of Saint Peter (San Pedro), who holds the keys to Heaven. This iconography links the stone either to a church dedicated to St. Peter or to ecclesiastical authority.
Below, the inscription:
D. I G V E L S R A N O C L R I G O
The carving is eroded, but it looks like a commemorative or donor’s inscription, probably abbreviating the name of a benefactor or cleric.
Language: Latin
Located at the Iglesia de San Juan, built between the 13th and 17th centuries, mixing Romanesque and Gothic styles, and it was associated with guilds (like the “Ovejeros” – shepherds). Inscriptions like this one are part of that heritage, marking contributions from individuals or groups.

Language
Bixo Malo: Non-standard spelling: bixo instead of standard Spanish bicho (insect/creature). Malo = bad.
Above it: an unreadable tag (signature-style, stylized letters).
Below: a simple drawing of a cartoon-like dog/wolf head.
The choice of x instead of ch is significant: Can mark informality, youth slang, or visual preference. "bixo" with “x” challenges standard spelling, signaling subcultural positioning. It works as a marker of non-standard, local voice.
“Bicho malo nunca muere”
(literally: a bad bug never dies).
