Sculptures of the Wind
The artist's coded message in the open-air museum

Puerto del Rosario, 2001. The mayor makes a bold gamble: transform a charmless port town into an open-air museum. Over twenty years, more than a hundred sculptures invade the streets. But the artist who installed the first work allegedly hid a message across his creations...
A hundred sculptures, a hidden message, a transformed city
Puerto del Rosario is Fuerteventura's capital — and the least touristy town on the island. No golden beaches, no spectacular volcanoes. In 2001, the mayor decided to change his city's destiny: install sculptures on every street, every square, in front of every building. Twenty years later, over a hundred works transform Puerto del Rosario into an unexpected open-air museum. Among the artists, a mysterious Basque sculptor allegedly hid a message across his creations — aligned in a certain order, they would spell a phrase. Miguel de Unamuno, the great Spanish philosopher exiled here in 1924, may also have left clues in the city he so despised...
« "Art in the street is not decoration. It's a conversation between the artist and the city — and those who know how to listen hear the message." »— — Inscription engraved on the base of an anonymous sculpture, Puerto del Rosario
Puerto del Rosario: from a forgotten port to a living museum
Puerto del Rosario — formerly Puerto de Cabras (the port of goats) — became Fuerteventura's capital in 1860, replacing old Betancuria. The city grew around its port, welcoming merchants and military. In 1924, Miguel de Unamuno, rector of the University of Salamanca, was exiled here by Primo de Rivera's dictatorship. He hated the place, calling it "the end of the world", but wrote some of his most poignant texts here.
For decades, Puerto del Rosario remained an administrative town without particular appeal. Then in 2001, the urban sculpture project began. The idea was simple: invite artists from around the world to create works installed in public space, no museum, no entry ticket. In twenty years, over a hundred sculptures appeared — from realistic bronzes to abstract installations, from tributes to Unamuno to marine figures.
Today, Puerto del Rosario is the only city in Spain where you can see more artworks walking down the street than visiting a museum. The Iglesia del Rosario, the Casa Museo Unamuno, the port and the Parque Escultórico form the main circuit. And somewhere in this eclectic assemblage, an artist allegedly left a message that no one has yet deciphered.

Frequently asked questions
Q01Is Sculptures of the Wind similar to a treasure hunt?
Same spirit: search, deduce, find. But here the "treasure" is a full story to piece together in eight stops. Each stop gives you a fragment of the final code. Eight fragments later, you've cracked it.
Q02How many stops are in Sculptures of the Wind?
Eight stops total. At each stop you find a camera clue, solve the puzzle, collect a fragment of the final code. With all eight, you've got the answer.
Q03Can we play Sculptures of the Wind as a couple?
Great two-person format. Narration is dramatic without overdoing it, puzzles are designed to spark conversation. Ideal for new relationships or anniversaries — you discover the city and coordinate on puzzles simultaneously.

Intermittent 4G is plenty. Maps are cached at startup. Narration and clues load per stop, so a so-so signal between stops is fine. GPS itself uses no data.
