Vatican & Spanish Flag

On the way home today I stopped to have something to eat in Galerías Pacífico. Originally built as Bon Marché Argentina it is now a modern mall in a lovely shell featuring striking interior murals. Frencesca restaurant downstairs is right by a large fountain.
I have concluded that Argentine waiters (mozos) are generally pretty useless. They seem to have other things on their mind rather than serving customers. Generally one can read war and peace before the deign to bring a menu and the bill also may take some time to arrive.
My solution is to try to eat or drink in places with waitresses. Failing that fetching the menu oneself and getting up and starting to leave to stimulate production of a bill speed matters considerably.
Flags are still displayed on this building in Recoleta. Curiously there was a Spanish flag among them. The Argentines are celebrating the anniversary of indepedence from Spain.
This sumptuos building in Recoleta caught my eye but I didn’t recognise the flag.
It turned out to be the Vatican embassy.
