The Argentine graphic humorist Joaquín Salvador Lavado Tejón, better known by his pseudonym: Quino, passed away in 2020. His death has saddened millions of followers around the world. In Asturias they had a special fondness for it, since in 2014 the statue of Mafalda was located in the most popular and visited park in Oviedo. This sculpture has joined the sculpture of Woody Allen in a nearby street, which has become an icon of the city since its inauguration in 2003 and is currently the two most sought after photos by tourists visiting the Asturian capital.

The Mafalda Statue in Oviedo is a charming tribute to the famous Argentine girl created by the cartoonist Quino. This sculpture, located in the San Francisco Park, has become a point of reference for tourists visiting the Asturian capital.
