Travelling on the GC-1 from the southern resorts or the airport towards Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, you’ll be greeted to the capital by a Greek god Triton, love child of the god and goddess of the sea, Poseidon and Amphitrite.
The messenger of the sea stands in his birthday suit blowing a conch. He’s positioned close to the upper car park at Playa de la Laja. Weighing 6,000 kilos, Triton’s nine metres tall and 13 metres long.
Manuel Gonzalez sculpted the statue. Its estimated cost is 300,000€. Triton was unveiled, in all his glory, on the 26th March 2011.
