Hombre Sobre Delfín (Man above dolphin): One of Salvador Dali's sculptures in Avenida del Mar, Marbella, Spain
The Avenida del Mar, which is the main walkway between the town centre and the Paseo Maritimo, is home to a collection of 10 of Dalí’s sculptures, cast in bronze and signed by the man himself. With its fountains, cafes and fabulous sea views, it’s the perfect place to admire his work and while away a few pleasant hours. … It wasn’t always like this though; several years ago the old Parque de la Alameda was a run down and virtually abandoned area, which was crying out for redevelopment. As part of his programme of improvements around Marbella, former mayor Jesus Gil arranged for the purchase of the collection of Dalí statues. They were to form the centrepiece of the newly redeveloped park, along with a series of fountains, landscaped areas and benches. A gleaming marble floor was then installed and the result of the work is what residents and visitors to the town now enjoy every day. Each of the sculptures bears a name plaque and a Dalí signature … and has all the surrealist hallmarks of his most famous works.
