Introduction
SCULPTURES DEDICATED TO JOAQUIM MUNTAÑOLA AND ORTEGA MONASTERIO
The roundabout, from Cavall Bernat’s avenue with Travessera del Cavall Bernat, shows a sculptural tribute to the “havaneres” world and to the cartoonist, humorist and writer Joaquim Muntañola, both closely linked to Platja d'Aro. On the southern side, there is a reproduction of the sculpture that the artist Pepe Noja made to pay tribute to the “havaneres” composer José Luis Ortega Monasterio, installed a few years ago in Platja Gran, near the Cavall Bernat and it had been damned. On the northern side, the three singers that Muntañola had illustrated on one of the promotional posters of Platja d’Aro’s “Cantada d’Havaneres” in the eighties.
The popular “Cantada d’Havaneres” is celebrated on the second Saturday of July at Platja Gran in Platja d'Aro.
