Tenerife Seagull

This bronze figure was unveiled less than a couple of months ago at the top of the harbour beach in Puerto. It is superb! It has to be examined to realise the intricacies in its sculpture. Every crease in the skirt is there to be seen. She carries fish in a bucket and they look so real.

I don't know its exact title, but I describe it as 'The Fish Seller.' It is a much photographed piece of sculpture, and has been the centre of attraction to all who venture that way.

There is a sculpture in Las Galletas (opposite the church and near the children's park, where there was once a fountain) that is of a similar nature, ie bronze and of a fishing scene. This one is of a man and woman with fishing nets. I will try to get a photo one of these days.
