“The Monument to the Fiestero is a sculpture located in the Park of the Spanish city of Malaga. Its author is Miguel García Navas. It was inaugurated in 1998 and pays homage to the indigenous musical genre of the verdiales, typical of several regions of the province of Málaga such as Axarquía and the Montes de Málaga; In a group of verdiales, one of its members is called a party animal. The proposal to honor the party animal arose from Verdialero Agustín Jiménez in the 1990s.” (Monumento al Fiestero, Wikipedia)
