New Statue on the Malecon

THE WASHER WOMAN, a bronze statue sculpted by Jim Demetro, was installed on the Malecon, in November 2008. It is a gift to the city and the people of Puerto Vallarta by Mr Berry, one of the owners of Molina de Aqua construction project where she is residing. She is a true-life depiction of women living about a kilometer from here on the River Cuale. The artist had this cast at a new foundry in PV, which meant less cost and a lot less distance to transport it from foundry to Malecon.
