ES: "Manuel Domingo Larios y Larios, promotor de la calle más importante de la ciudad que lleva su apellido, fija su mirada en esta concurrida vía desde 1899, año en el que el Ayuntamiento de Málaga erigió este monumento en su honor.

El segundo Marqués de Larios fue el principal accionista de la sociedad que se creó para la construcción de la calle y que supuso una inversión de un millón de pesetas de la época (6.000 euros).

El monumento es obra del escultor Mariano Benlliure, autor de otras obras que pueden verse en diferentes museos de Málaga, está diseñado en bronce y se asienta sobre un pedestal de mármol. La estatua está flanqueada por dos figuras. Un hombre que sostiene un pico y un azadón, que representa el trabajo, y una mujer que presenta en ofrenda a un niño, que representa la caridad.

En la cara frontal del pedestal se puede leer “A don Manuel Larios II Marqués de Larios Málaga agradecida”, mientras que en las otras caras están inscritas las fechas de su nacimiento, muerte y la de inauguración del monumento. La estatua está situada en las confluencias de la Alameda Principal y la calle Larios, conectando con la Plaza de la Marina."

EN: "Manuel Domingo Larios y Larios, promoter of the most important street in the city, the one that bears his name, has had his gaze fixed on this busy thoroughfare since 1899, the year in which the city of Málaga erected this monument in his honour.

The second Marqués de Larios was the main shareholder of the company that was created to build the street and which involved an investment of one million pesetas (6,000 euros).

The monument is the work of sculptor Mariano Benlliure, author of other works that can be admired in several museums in Málaga. It is cast in bronze and sits on a marble pedestal. The statue is flanked by two figures. A man holding a pick and a hoe, representing work, and a woman offering something to a child, representing charity.

The front of the pedestal reads "To Don Manuel Larios y Larios II, Marqués de Larios, with Málaga's gratitude", while the other faces bear the dates of his birth, death and when the statue was officially opened to the public. The statue is located at the confluence of Alameda Principal and Calle Larios, connecting with the Plaza de la Marina."
