Monument to the Tourist
The Monument to the Tourist stands on a roundabout on Avenida de la Libertad, in Torremolinos. It is a bronze sculpture depicting a three-member tourist family, created in the 1970s during the Spanish tourism boom. The monument symbolises Torremolinos's transformation from a fishing village into a tourist destination and is regarded as a symbol of local identity. The ensemble includes a decorative fountain, although it does not always work, and is surrounded by well-kept gardens and palm trees. It is lit up at night, creating a striking sight. It is a popular spot for photos and selfies, and on summer evenings the area comes alive with locals and tourists strolling by. There are cafés and restaurants nearby, and the monument is an easy landmark to find.
