I shall go on tour over the next few days and get some more. There are several in and around the old town in particular.

Lovely. The bird and snake are neat. And just at my favourite little bar.

Cool sculpture 👍
I also love that little bar. Unique setting with lovely family running it for many years, who love chatting about the work that went into making it so beautiful. |

I wonder (optimistically) if these are the result of a grant-aided competition for artists - or some other way to inject funding to support local artists? A long shot on my behalf, but it might explain the diversity of sculptures! Fair play to the Camara is that is the case.

They look permanent to me. Each one has a plaque with the title of the object and the name of the creator, plus a semi official looking logo. I will have a closer look.

I'm impressed by the public sculptures around town and also as you leave the airport.
