Monumento a la Pescadora, Puerto de la Cruz, Bronze sculpture in Puerto de la Cruz, Spain

The Monumento a la Pescadora features a fisherwoman carrying a basket on her head while holding fish in her opposite hand near the pier.

Artist Julio Nieto created this monument in 2008 to commemorate the fishing industry that shaped Puerto de la Cruz from its early days as a village.

The monument stands as a representation of the local fishing community, particularly highlighting the role of women in the maritime activities of the region.

Located at the waterfront next to Plaza del Charco, visitors can reach the monument through several pedestrian paths that connect to the city center.

The bronze figure captures a moment of movement, with the fisherwoman's garments appearing to flow in the coastal breeze against the Atlantic backdrop.
