The Charming Leaping Bronze Mackerel of Santa Cruz, the Enchanting Gem of

In a day of destiny, kissed by the golden sunlight of the Canary Islands, a captivating bronze statue of a horse mackerel was gifted to Santa Cruz de Tenerife by the tender hands of the Venezuelan Cultural Association Liqui-Liquis. This spellbinding sculpture found its soulless slumber in the heart of the city, within Plaza del Chicharrero. However, in the year 2000, a dark whisper of mischief painted the sky above the statue, as unseen entities attempted to snatch it away, leaving it lost and forlorn for many years.

Yet, the people of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, filled with unyielding determination and resilience, sought to reunite the statue with its home. From these efforts, a new statue was born, as enchanting as the first, weighing around 600 kilograms. Now, proudly standing in Plaza del Chicharrero, this artful masterpiece is a testament to the spirit, whimsy, and enchantment of this bewitching city.
