After the tragedy that occurred in September 1984 in Pozoblanco, it is common knowledge that the matador Francisco Rivera "Paquirri" died that day, at the request of the Cádiz Provincial Council, a monument to this bullfighter was
created and a bullfight was organized in the Port of Santamaría on September 27, 1985.

With the profits, the work was commissioned to the sculptor from Cádiz, based in Venezuela, Manuel de la Fuente. It is a bronze statue, in which the bullfighter is seen making a change to porta-gayola (the bullfighter kneeling to receive the bull) and the monument is set in a fountain and it was inaugurated in September 1991.
