Sculptures

Lalín is land of artists and Art lovers. It is obvious in its streets. A good way of crossing Lalin village is discovering its sculptures. Some of them have turned into symbols of the municipality, as the dedicated one to Loriga, the aviator, or the statue of the pork.

Some of them monumental, different and discreet another ones...figuratives or abstracts, all of them have a history behind...make up your mind and come to discover it!

Bust of granite, material that he just started to use with only 13 years old at Alemparte's mounts (Lalín), his homeland.
Stone-cutter and sculptor, with only 19 years he had his stone-cutter own squad.
We can find his works in different places of Galicia, but also in Madrid, Germany and Argentina, and of course, in Lalín, where, in addition to sculptures, religious images and cruises, he was the manager of the church enlargement. He built lateral ships, sacristy and the bell tower of the same one.

He died in 2008 and this bust was inaugurated on the first anniversary of his death to remember his figure.
