These are the initiatives that we must continue to promote, because Alicante has the capacity and will work to have a greater capacity to attract, welcome and promote cultural tourism, beyond the sun and beach to be a reference and to play in the big leagues, with ambition\", said Maz\u00f3n, who has assured that this exhibition is set to be one of the most important of all those hosted by the museum and the most visited in the history of the city, \"a challenge that we are achieving day by day\". <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The piece, by eleven metres high<\/strong> and a base of 10,000 kilos of sand<\/strong>will remain on display until the end of the exhibition, in January 2024, but will be removed punctually during the San Juan festivities to facilitate the installation of the Hoguera Explanada.
