Biznaguero

In the Pedro Luis Alonso Gardens in Málaga, visitors will find the bronze sculpture of the Biznaguero, a work by Jaime Fernández Pimentel made in 1963, depicting a traditional biznaga seller dressed in the local traditional costume, holding bunches of jasmine in his left hand while resting his right hand on his face and looking up at the sky. The statue pays tribute to this Málaga trade, showing the craft process behind biznagas, which are made with jasmine flowers inserted into dried stems and sold on the streets during summer, prized for their fragrance and their ability to keep mosquitoes away. The landscaped surroundings around the sculpture invite visitors to stroll and take in both the artwork and the cultural meaning the biznaguero holds in Málaga's traditions.
