PMR626-10 Spain, Lanzarote: Monumento al Campesino: designed by Cesar Manrique, the 15 metre monument was assembled in 1968 from old fishing boat drinking water canisters welded together, and represents a peasant with his traditional assistants, an ass and a dromedary. The monument is surrounded by vines growing in "picon" (volcanic gravel), each with its own semi-circular protecting wall against the wind.
