The City Council of Puerto del Rosario has received a formal motion to designate a street in the municipality with the name of Ceuta, seeking to strengthen solidarity ties between both territories.

The initiative, registered on September 21, 2026, proposes starting the necessary administrative procedures for this recognition. The proposal suggests locating this new name in the Fabelo neighborhood, an area that already has several streets named after other Spanish autonomous communities, which would facilitate its integration into the current urban layout.
The main objective of this gesture is to project a message of closeness and support towards the Ceuta population in light of the difficulties the autonomous city is facing. As detailed in the motion, naming a public road constitutes a lasting form of institutional recognition that would allow for the visibility of the historical and human connection between both geographical points.
The proposal must now be debated and voted on in the municipal plenary session by the different political groups. If it receives the necessary support, the council will begin the formal procedure, which will include coordination with urban planning technical services to make this tribute to the autonomous city effective.
