The monument to Martín Alonso Pinzón in Baiona is located at the end of the seafront, in a roundabout on a natural rock. This statue was inaugurated in 1977 and is the work of the Huelva-born sculptor Luis Ortega. The monument pays tribute to Martín Alonso Pinzón, the captain of the caravel La Pinta, who arrived at the port of Baiona in March 1493 with the news of the discovery of America.
