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!
Small monolith with parallelepiped form and granite monolith with pyramidal end. In its front, a bronze bas relief gathers, with great naturalism, an emotive allusive scene to emigration.
In the frame of a rural landscape, a pair of old farmers, with their backs to spectator, they say goodbye to a ship that moves away in the distance.
Upper left, in a paint incision, Lalín's shield appears with its two lions and tree. In spite of the fact that Acuña reliefs are not as well known as his sculptures, we can recognize the same costumbrism that he applies in round-bodied pieces.
