Mermaid statue “The Little Mermaid” in Parque Europa, Madrid

In the Parque Europa on the east side of Madrid in Spain is a near-replica of Edvard Eriksen's mermaid statue The Little Mermaid.   map

There are some differences from the original statue, notably the facial features.

The park is lavishly landscaped and has scale model replicas of 17 monuments throughout Europe plus an original piece of the Berlin Wall.   Monuments represented include London Bridge, Michelangelo's David, Dutch windmills, the Eiffel Tower, The Little Mermaid statue and 12 others.
