Reloj Veleta
Popularly known as “Reloj de Sol”
Artist
Javier CamarasaEspana · b. 19571 work in the parkView artistThe artist Javier Camarasa, who has been based in Fuerteventura for several years, created this large vertical sundial, 3m high and 9m wide, which weighs about 10 tons and is installed within a roundabout where vehicles circulate. The enormous clock is made of steel and concrete and has a four-blade weather vane that measures 7m in height, made with steel and Teflon. The sculpture captures the two characteristic elements of Fuerteventura, the sun and the wind, with the purpose of embodying these two determining factors of the island in time.

Primera obra escultórica en ser realizada e instalada en Puerto del Rosario. Una obra que por sus características suponía una ruptura en un lugar no habituado a este tipo de obras.
