The Chicharro Sculpture, Bronze fish sculpture in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain
The Chicharro Sculpture depicts a mackerel fish emerging from a wave base, weighing 600 kilograms and mounted on a basalt stone foundation.
Created in 2003 to replace the original 1979 sculpture that was stolen and recovered in Valencia, where it narrowly escaped being melted for scrap metal.
The sculpture represents the close connection between Santa Cruz de Tenerife residents and fishing traditions, leading to their nickname Chicharreros.
Located at coordinates 28.4676223° N and -16.2508817° W, the sculpture serves as a central meeting point in the Chicharro Square.
The current bronze statue incorporates elements from the original sculpture, specifically maintaining the wave design from which the fish appears to leap.
