Barco de chanquete "La Dorada", Ship monument in Nerja, Spain
La Dorada stands as a full-scale replica of a traditional fishing vessel at the entrance of Nerja town center on Calle Antonio Ferrandis.
The original vessel gained recognition through its role in the 1981 Spanish television series Verano Azul, where it served as the home of fisherman Chanquete.
The boat represents the transformation of Nerja from a fishing village into a tourist destination, marking the influence of television on local development.
Visitors can find the monument near Parque Verano Azul, with informational panels explaining its connection to the television series and local heritage.
This replica replaced the original filming prop, which was dismantled after production, becoming a permanent symbol for generations of television viewers.
