Bear and the Strawberry Tree
Puerta del Sol
Madrid Spain

It gets its name from the original name of Madrid: ‘Ursaria’, which means ‘land of the bears’ in Latin.

The Statue of the Bear and the Strawberry Tree is a sculpture from the second half of the 20th century, situated in the Spanish city of Madrid.
