    Hiking

    Sculpture of a whale tail about five meters by eight meters and weighing about 24 tons.
    Made by the sculptor Fernando Sáenz de Elorrieta in Corten steel.
    The image simulates the dive of a whale in the waters of the port of Cartagena
    (an easily detectable mammal off the coasts of Cabo Tiñoso and Cabo de Palos, where there is a common crossing area during their migrations).
