The Tradewinds Traveller

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria · Category: Art · Subcategory: Sculpture · Year: 2005 · Authors: Adolfo López Martínez

The viajero de los alisios (the tradewinds traveller) is made up of three continual spirals symbolizing the three elements that in turn make up the spirit of the sailors who dream of leaving these lands bound for other shores, year after year. These elements are The traveller (first spiral), The trade winds (central spiral) and The Gulf current (third spiral), elements without which this whole adventure would never come about.

The purpose of it is to offer a tribute to Gran Canaria's people, to all those who leave these shores leaving behind a fine memory, after having spent time with us.
