Description

There is many beautiful sculptures on the Malecon and all over Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. This is one of my personal favorites.
It is also without a doubt, the most famous and loved of all Ramiz Barquet's sculptures in town. It has been on the Malecon for decades and has a beautiful and romantic love story to back it up too.. The story behind the sculpture has both Ramiz and his wife Nelly Barquet as main actors. It's the memory of a love story that surmounts many tests and errors, that finally after decades ends in their marriage.
After the seahorse statue and the crown of the Guadalupe Church, this sculpture also represents the special magic that Puerto Vallarta has upon couples and their romantic passions.
A couple sits, close together, looking into the distance to the town, the sea, the hills, and jungles, enjoying the moment together, in love, a love that lasts, in the case of these metal beings, maybe, forever.
It's also one of the oldest sculptures on the Malecón. "Nostalgia" became part of the seaside boardwalk on May 31, 1984.
