Around the striking sculpture, They are a set of banks that allow you to stop for a few minutes, take a seat and enjoy the sculpture and environment offered by the park full of greenery and flowers that recreates an idyllic picture that keeps in her heart hollow poetry and love. The sound of birds, water sources, the wind caressing your face…a delight.

Marble sculpture, declared of Cultural Interest, is composed of the bust of the poet Gustavo Adolfo Becquer, three women sitting on a bench symbolizing the three states of love (the "excited love", the "possessed love" and "love lost") and two bronze figures symbolizing the wounded love (A man writhes in pain) and love hurts (A young cupido)

These three women represent rhyme entitled Whats wrong honey of Gustavo Adolfo Becquer

Love happens
"Invisible atoms air

round throb and swell,

the sky melts in golden rays,

the earth trembles exhilarated.

I hear, floating on waves of harmonies,

rumor of kisses and beating of wings;

my eyelids close ... What?

Dime.

-Silence! It's the love happens!”
