The mayor of Salamanca, Carlos García Carbayo, has stated that it is a "pity" to break the figure of the devil eating an ice cream that can be seen in the New Cathedral of Salamanca, an image that was added to the temple as a seal of restoration of its facade in 1992. The municipal councilor, who has explained that he was not aware of this fact, has shown his interest and his decision to "do everything possible" to "replace the leg or whatever is needed" after learning that the relief had suffered the loss, specifically of the left hoof.

García Carbayo has recognized that the lower parts of heritage buildings are the ones that "suffer" the most damage of this type and has encouraged people to "take care" of the monuments they approach to learn about and photograph their peculiarities, collects Ep.

"That's what the photographic machines are for, to take away memories, not to grab the devil's paws", added the municipal councilor when learning about the situation of the relief of the Salamancan temple.
