    Statue of Heraclio Niz Mesa "Pollo de Arrecife". Inaugurated in 2017, sculptor Rigoberto Camacho, Calle Leon y Castillo Heraclio Niz was ... prominent Canarian wrestler and actor in the 60s ... Guadarfiá, police officer in Arrecife, even head of the municipal police force ... called himself Pollo "Chicken" of Arrecife ... was also appreciated for his friendly, affable and generous way of dealing with locals and tourists. He was awarded a medal for tourist merit and the Cross of the Order of the Knights of Cisnaros. ... also gave his name to the 2019 wrestling ground. ... died in 2010 at the age of 80. The idea for the statue came from Andrés Medina in collaboration with Francisco Hernandéz, graduate of the "Bellas Artes" of the University of La Laguna. Originally, the statue was supposed to stand in a roundabout, but now it is at the beginning of the large shopping street Leon y Castillo.

    Questa statua si trova all'inizio della via principale di Arecife dove ci sono molti negozi, bar, ristoranti. È una strada pedonale molto carina per fare una passeggiata e fermarsi in qualche locale o fare shopping. Questa strada è ben curata, ma se ci si allontana di pochi metri dal centro, ho notato un certo degrado nella città.

    Curioso homenaje a este señor muy conocido en Arrecife. Parece ser que se dedicó en su juventud a la lucha canaria. Tras dejar este deporte fue policía local y ayudo a muchas personas. Por eso fue muy querido en la ciudad.
