Barquet's "The Flautista" Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Bad Man Jose: I have recently moved from PV and am no longer able to provide the necessary maintenance for my caches. Since there are no other local cachers to adopt these or help out, I am archiving when necessary. Many thanks to all who have visited over the years and have helped out with maintenance along the way. Much appreciated.

The 1.5 km long Malecón is well-known for its more than a dozen art sculptures along its route ["The Malecon Shuffle" (GC6ENGA)] (click). What many visitors don't know is that `other public works of art can be found throughout Vallarta, often a mere block or two off the nearby malecón.

This quick 2-stage multi highlights one of the fine works of Ramiz Barquet (click), a highly talented and much loved sculptor -- "The Flautista", or "La Rinconada del Juglar" (The Minstrel Corner).
