Estatua de 200 Kilos en bronce a tamaño humano.
Justo al comienzo del Puente del Petróleo, la fábrica de Anís del Mono decidió colocar una estatua de su logo a tamaño "humano". Como no podía ser de otra manera la cara de Sir Charles Darwin está muy presente, aunque la estatua tiene un cierto aire hamletiano al mirar la botella de anís como si de una calavera se tratase. Lleva poco más de dos años allí y no hay nadie que pase hacia el puente que no pare para sacarse una foto con el "mono", tan famoso como el original que estaba en una jaula en la fábrica-destilería y que acabó por dar nombre a todo lo que salía de allí.
200 kilos human size bronze statue.
Right at the beginning of the Oil Bridge, the Anís del Mono factory decided to place a "human" size statue of its logo. As it could not be otherwise, the face of Sir Charles Darwin is very present, although the statue has a certain Hamletian air when looking at the bottle of anise as if it were a skull. It has been there for little more than two years and there is no one who passes towards the bridge who does not stop to take a picture with the "monkey", as famous as the original one that was in a cage in the factory-distillery and that ended up giving its name everything that came out of it.
