Monumento al pescador, Los Alcázares


Fishermen’s Monument, Playa Espejo, los Alcázares

Monumento al pescador, Los AlcázaresFishing has always been an essential element of the economy and history in this area of the Mar Menor , so this bronze monument was created by Manuel Nicolas Almansa to pay homage to the fishermen of the town of Los Alcazáres.


The statue was officially inaugurated on 13th Oct 1998, marking the day on which the municipality of Los Alcázares achieved its independence, the youngest municipality within the Region of Murcia.


Monumento al pescador, Los Alcázares The monument can be found on the beach of El Espejo ( which means mirror ) close to the church of La Ascunción on Plaza Virgin de Asunción.


The sculpture depicts a fisherman dragging a net behind him, the inference is that even after a hard day’s work he is returning home with no catch. Behind him are two mermaids mounted on seahorses, signifying the two seas of the Mediterranean and the Mar Menor, trying to put a little fish into his nets to make the day worthwhile. This is one of the most photographed monuments or locations in Los Alcázares.
