This monument to the popular Canarian sport Vela Latina is located on Avenida Maritima at the same level as San Telmo Park.
It is a product of Juan Antonio Giraldo's imagination and dates back to 1997.
Vela Latina - the Latin sail. The capital of Gran Canaria takes advantage of the trade winds and organizes regattas from April to October.
They attract enthusiastic crowds who watch the miniature boats with the huge sails compete against each other.translated by
