"To remember the creative and artistic work of three Valencian singers, a monument was made representing a relief of the heads of the three singers arranged in a pyramidal composition, surrounded on the left side by a laurel wreath and at the base a flag.

A marble shield was placed on the monolith, and under the bronze relief a dedication: "TO OUR FRIENDS NINO BRAVO, JUAN CAMACHO, BRUNO LOMAS, JUNE 1991".

The author of the monument is Alfonso Pérez Plaza."

NINO BRAVO
"Luis Manuel Ferri Llopis , artistically known as Nino Bravo ( Aielo de Malferit , Vall d'Albaida , August 3 , 1944 - Villarrubio , Tarancón , Conca , April 16, 1973 ) , was a Valencian melodic singer . He is known for his songs in Spanish , but at the beginning, in a phase unknown to the general public, he sang in Valencian .

On April 16, 1973 , Nino Bravo was traveling in his new BMW from Valencia to Madrid for professional reasons, accompanied by the duo Humo and Pepe Juesas . When they crossed the term of Villarrubio , in the region of Tarancón , they suffered a serious traffic accident that caused the death of the singer when he was only 28 years old."

JUAN CAMACHO
"Juan Camacho Coy (Valencia, February 16, 1947-Madrid, October 21, 1982),2 known artistically as Juan Camacho, was a Spanish light music singer whose musical career took place in the 1960s and 1970s.

Juan Camacho began collaborating with various Valencian youth music groups such as Los Satélites, Los Huppies, Los Ciclones, Los Ángeles Negros and Los Diapason's (with the latter he even recorded a single) until he joined Los Relámpagos as rhythm guitarist. With this group he would record two singles, "Sobre el andén"/"Ella" (where Juan Camacho sang precisely the two songs) and "Catalunya plora"/"Bolero mallorquín", as well as the LP Piel de Toro, one of the best albums of Los Relámpagos for RCA.

Precisely at the end of one of these galas, on August 8, 1982,5 after having sung the night before in Castellote (Teruel), he suffered a traffic accident in Tordesalas (province of Soria), on his way to another performance in Orense. After more than two months in a coma, he died in the Francisco Franco (now Gregorio Marañón) hospital in Madrid on October 21, 1982 at the premature age of 35."

En 2021, Bruno Lomas es nombrado Hijo Adoptivo de Puebla de Farnals, localidad en la que vivió entre 1968 y 1990"
