Located in a preferential place in the Jardines del Altozano, it is a reproduction of the original found in the National Archaeological Museum. It is an enigmatic figure that smiles a little mockingly for more than 2,500 years. If you go to Albacete you have to go to greet her to see if she is lucky.
