My spontaneously organized week of posts dedicated to various monuments is coming to an end, and today, I publish a selection of pictures of statues, monuments, and sculptures taken during my two trips to the island of Tenerife, Spain. For clarity, I commented on some of the shots and provided a link to the location on Google Maps. I hope this information will be useful to someone.

This is a monument to one of the representatives of Canarias folk music, Sebastian Ramos, nicknamed El Puntero. Located in Punta del Hidalgo.

This sculpture obviously depicts two people hugging each other. Installed in the center of the resort city of Las Americas. ▼

This monument dedicates to the divine heart of Jesus. Located in Santiago del Teide. ▲

Along the promenade of Candelaria, there are nine bronze statues of the kings of the Guanches, the indigenous inhabitants of Tenerife.

According to history, once the entire island was ruled by a king named Tinerfe El Grande. After his death, the nine sons divided the island into nine regions, where they also became kings. Their rule ended after the Spanish conquest of the island.

The kings had religious, military, and civil power — they were the absolute masters of Tenerife. Many of the island's towns owe their names to some of the Guanche kings.

Apparently, this monument is dedicated to the teacher and his students. Located in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the capital of the island. I couldn't find any information about this monument on the Internet.

The Emigrants Monument. Located in Garachiсo. More information about this monument and its story can be found here. ▼

Another monument to the king of the Guanches. Located in Santiago del Teide. ▲

A monument dedicated to the artists of La Orotava, who create carpets of flowers and volcanic sand on the streets of the city for the annual holiday. I told about this holiday in one of my old posts. The monument located here.

Monument to don Jose Perez Gonzales, alcalde of the village of Masca, one of the most popular tourist places in Tenerife. Located here. ▼

Monument to Simon Bolivar. Located in San Cristobal de La Laguna. ▲

Finally, a sculpture of a sad woman in the Garcia Sanabria Park in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Located here.
