The municipality of Teguise paid tribute last Saturday, October 17, to three women, Marusa, Encarna García, and Tomasa Morales, for their contribution to the island's agriculture and crafts. The event, organized by the Equality and Agriculture, Livestock, and Fisheries departments, brought together over a hundred people to recognize the effort and legacy of these Teguise residents.
The mayor, Olivia Duque, emphasized the importance of recognizing these women, whose work has been fundamental in consolidating the cultural richness and development of the municipality. "Teguise has a deep rural identity, and to continue building our future, we cannot forget the effort they have made to consolidate the cultural wealth of Teguise and La Graciosa," she stated.
For her part, the Councilor for Equality and Social Welfare, Nereyda González, stressed the duty of administrations to preserve traditional crafts, while the Councilor for the Environment, Miriam Jorge, highlighted the values of overcoming challenges, effort, and work that the honorees represent.
“"Local administrations have the duty to preserve these traditional crafts"
“"It is also about helping to maintain the values of overcoming challenges, effort, and work that they represent"
The institutional ceremony concluded with a family photograph and was followed by the musical performance ‘Tingafa, mujeres del volcán’, a scenic proposal that exalted the role of Canarian women through their roots and folklore.
