The initiative aims to recover the historical and ethnographic memory of this enclave, highlighting the importance of the old salt pans, the bunker, and the fish drying area.
During the ceremony, councilor Pedro Quevedo emphasized that the measure represents progress in preserving the city's cultural and ethnographic heritage, fulfilling a commitment made to the honoree's family.
It was announced that the current plaque, temporarily installed after an attempted theft, will be replaced by a larger one to ensure its permanence.
“"After many years of struggle, we have at least achieved the goal of placing a plaque here at the entrance to El Confital. It is a source of pride for the entire family."
José Francisco Rosales Ramírez, grandson of Celestino Ramírez, expressed the family's satisfaction with this recognition, a process that began in 2021 and has received backing from municipal bodies. He highlighted the historical significance of the salt pans as the area's first industry.
The event was attended by family members of Celestino Ramírez, institutional representatives from Ciudad del Mar, and members of the Cabildo de Gran Canaria, marking a day dedicated to the memory of one of the capital's most representative traditional coastal trades.
