“Niña de Benalmádena” by Jaime Pimentel, 1968
Plaza de España
Benalmádena, March 2024
“The ‘Niña de Benalmádena’ (Girl of Benalmádena), a bronze sculpture, a unique symbol and icon of the town of Benalmádena (Málaga), is part of the fountain that stands in the Plaza de España. This work, by the sculptor Jaime Pimentel, was made at the request of the mayor at that time, Mr. Enrique Bolín Pérez-Argemí. The sculpture came to predict the resurgence of the town 's economy and its connection with tourism and more international culture. Pimentel's work has always had an important impact in the places where it has been exhibited, becoming, in the sculptor's own words, emblems.” (Niña de Benalmádena, Wikipedia)
