While Pedro IV is a legendary figure in Portuguese history—known as "The Liberator" for his role in defending the constitutional monarchy—this sculpture reimagines him through a modern, sustainable lens. Created from recycled materials like plastic, metal scraps, and discarded industrial parts, the piece is likely inspired by or created by the famous Portuguese "artivist" Bordalo II. His work is designed to provoke a conversation about overconsumption and the environment by turning literal waste into powerful cultural icons. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4ec3a2f6576ea6cdccbbea/1777135586233-R7JEZTW1GEI15A1SHO4N/20260408_160410.jpg Susan Gaer's Random Thoughts - Camino 2026-Celebrating 70 and Protesting the Kidnapping of our US Immigrants - Maggie walking during the end of the first day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4ec3a2f6576ea6cdccbbea/1777135574505-EN6BL3DN9UBUN19TNBNO/IMG-20260408-WA0008.jpeg Susan Gaer's Random Thoughts - Camino 2026-Celebrating 70 and Protesting the Kidnapping of our US Immigrants - This was the only open place that we could find to get a not so good lunch.

It is called Ponte Eiffel designed by Gustave Eiffel who designed the Eiffel tower in Paris. It was not an easy walk. A very narrow walkway with pedistrians moving in both directions. Most not caring about the pilgrims wearing heavy backpacks. There were a ton of cars and it was a long walk like that in traffic, smog and people. I don’t recommend it. Next time I would taxi across. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a4ec3a2f6576ea6cdccbbea/1777145256856-3OSXAMFST58OYPAN3Q3D/20260410_115638.jpg Susan Gaer's Random Thoughts - Camino 2026-Celebrating 70 and Protesting the Kidnapping of our US Immigrants - After hours, we finally came to this forested area.
