A tribute to bars. In this work by the artist Leopoldo Emperador says; "we want to remind you how important bars are to the economy." Coca cola drink is also mentioned separately on the plaque of the sculpture. The whole sculpture was originally painted black, but this paint has come off.
A very special-looking figure has a very recognizable Coca cola glass in his hand. The figure leans on a sandstone bar table. In the evenings, the sculpture is illuminated.
The sculpture can be found on the beach promenade near the Faro lighthouse. There are several restaurants and bars along it.
Address: Pl. del Faro, 3D, 35100 San Bartolomé de Tirajana, Las Palmas, Spain.
