Monument to Camarón de la Isla

Can anyone tell me where exactly in La Línea de la Concepción is the Monument to Camarón de la Isla located ?
The only explanation I can find online is:

quote:

Monument located on the west access of the city, between the Paseo Marítimo de Poniente and the Casa de la Juventud

I can't find either of those streets/landmarks on Google maps.
I'll be driving through the town anyway on my way to Gibraltar, and would like to stop by the monument on my way.

Thanks.

Hi Ed,

I still couldn't pin point it on google maps.
I'll try to ask around once I'm there. If I understand correctly, it's near the border with Gibraltar, so I'll have do drive through the area anyway.

Thanks, Eitan.

After some playing around with the Google street view location you put in your post, my conclusion is that it's somewhere inside the highlighted area. Is that correct ?

Yup, it's just about in the middle of your circle, and accessible from both Paseo Cornisa and Avenida Principe de Asturias ...
