This square is located in a place of passage and meeting of visueños and visueñas and at the foot of one of the most important streets of the municipality, Calle Real.
In the middle of the square is the bronze sculpture that gives its name to the square “La Recovera”, by the sculptor Jesús Gavira. This monument, installed in 1991 in the square, was intended as a tribute to women and to this profession.
Recovera was the woman dedicated to the recova (buying eggs, bread, etc., for resale). Enterprising and with character, her figure was key in the Visueña economy after the post-war period, when some women with scarce resources found in the recova their livelihood to make a living for their battered family economy, touring farms and orchards to sell their products in Seville or other towns.
The recoveras were adept at hiding their products from the inspection of the agents of fielatos (offices at the entrance of towns where excise duties were once paid) and municipal tax collectors who kept watch at train stations, squares and markets.
