A petrol station !!!

I was walking past the bull fighting arena-turned-shopping mall and in a small street next to the arena I noticed what I thought looked like a petrol pump. A petrol pump on the side of the road ? What for ? Such a small filling station ? Who would come there? There is no space to park your car while you fill the tank ?

A small petrol station
I was quite surprised at the lack of : a forecourt, petrol pumps attendants, a shop selling snacks and other items! I mean this is a fuel station! It is supposed to offer a range of things. As I stood there and wondered about it, a motorbike came whizzing up and stopped in front of the pump. A man from inside the fuel station (if you can call it that) emerged. He sprang into action and filled the tank of the motor bike. The man and the bike rider had a lively conversation and then the biker hopped back onto his bike and was off, into the traffic once more.

Another happy biker with a full tank!

I figured out what this little petrol station is for. It is a place for motor bikes to refuel!!
