The Monument dedicated to the Chicharrero in Tenerife.
I was once in Tenerife at the Mercado Ntra. Señora de África, not far from the port, and while we were returning to the main street I photographed this monument depicting fishermen hoisting a boat.
Then searching online for more information I discovered that the monument is dedicated to the Chicharrero, that is, the typical inhabitants of Santa Cruz (later extended to all the inhabitants of Tenerife).
It derives from the name of a low-value fish, the chicharro, but I don't think it is used in a negative way.
Do you know Santa Cruz de Tenerife?
