    Hiking

    The very famous sculpture of Los Raqueros.
    Translated by
    The talented diving children who were forced to work and had to fish their tips out of the Bay of Santander with their teeth.
    The Monumento a los Raqueros is a captivating public artwork dedicated to the city's children who had to earn a living in the port facilities. These "Raqueros" were forced into plunder and pickpocketing before they had to dive into the water to retrieve their reward, sometimes even between their teeth. Visit the sculpture and reflect on the tragic, unusual lives of these children.
