The sculptural group “Las sirgueras” by the artist Dora Salazar is located in the heart of the Paseo de Uribitarte and consists of four statues. She is a testament to the importance of women's work and the path to equality. The work pays homage to the figure of the Sirgueras, women who pulled boats along the river mouth with the sole aid of a rope, a towline and their own strength.

Located on the Paseo de Uribitarte, and consisting of four statues, the sculpture Las Sirgueras, by artist Dora Salazar, is a recognition of the importance of women's work and the path to equality. The work pays tribute to the figures of the sirgueras (rope girls), women who dragged ships along the estuary using only a rope and their own strength.
