Estepona is a city that is sensitive to animals, and “Perro I” is one of its most admired and photographed sculptures. For those wondering - it is a dog, created by Rafa Macarrón who is considered one of the most promising artists on the national scene. The piece, which is made of bronze, weighs more than a ton and is two meters high , and is located on the recently remodelled section of the city's promenade.
The sculpture, of great visual impact due to its shape and size, is inspired by the artist's affection for pets and his memory of walks in nature with his dog .
