The sculpture La Rana de la Fortuna (The Lucky Frog), a bronze artwork nearly four meters tall, has been relocated from Colón to the entrance of Casino Gran Madrid in Torrelodones.

The mayor of Torrelodones, Almudena Negro, together with the president of Casino Gran Madrid, Ángel María Escolano, have unveiled the new location of the sculpture La Rana de la Fortuna. This artistic piece, symbolizing luck and chance, has been installed in the main fountain adorning the casino's entrance in Torrelodones.
Previously, the sculpture was located in Colón since April 2014. It was a donation from Casino Gran Madrid to the city of Madrid as a token of gratitude for allowing the re-establishment of a casino in the capital. Now, the artwork beautifies the building in Torrelodones.
The frog is a creation of the artist Eladio de Mora, known artistically as dEmo. Made of bronze, the sculpture reaches a height of almost four meters. Its legs, measuring 2.20 meters, and the animal's belly are adorned with various symbols of fortune from different cultures around the world.
