Monumento a los poetas

Monumento a los poetas stands near the sea at Puerto de las Nieves, where three life-sized figures form a quiet literary gathering. Tomás Morales stands in the centre, while Saulo Torón sits on the left and Alonso Quesada sits on the right.

José de Armas Medina shaped the trio as one scene, with calm poses that suggest conversation rather than heroic display. Tiled panels beneath the figures give each poet’s name, life dates and a line of verse about Puerto de las Nieves or the sea. Those details connect the sculpture to the harbour and Atlantic beyond, placing local poetry beside the promenade.

Look closely at the tiles beneath each figure, where ceramic surfaces carry the poets’ words towards the water.
