Tomás Morales (1884-1921), a prominent figure in Spanish modernism, is known for his poems that capture the essence of the Atlantic and the lush landscapes of Moya, Gran Canaria. His poetry often evokes a sense of the sea, with descriptions of salt and foam, reflecting his deep connection to the ocean. He also drew inspiration from the natural beauty of Moya, where his birthplace and the Tomás Morales House Museum are located
