The staff of two Art, Culture and Tourism Centers show off their Manrique-inspired uniforms

The counselor of the Centers of Art, Culture and Tourism, Ángel Vázquez, traveled this Monday to the Montañas del Fuego and the Castillo de San José to exchange opinions and impressions about the new uniforms inspired by the designs of César Manrique that the workers of both centers are now wearing.

“It is a pride to see this initiative become a reality,” assured Vázquez, for whom the new garments “restore the pride of belonging” to the staff. “They are a hallmark, unique and original garments created by a unique and original artist.”

In the case of Montañas del Fuego, the workers wear the historic white shirts with the volcano on the chest, in red for the maitres. In the shop, a white Mao-collar shirt. Guides, guards, and cleaning staff also wear new uniforms. “We are recovering a symbol of the island that breathes art and conveys who we are and what we do.”

Meanwhile, at the Castillo de San José, uniforms are worn in keeping with the fresh, elegant, and renewed image projected by the restaurant. Thus, the dining room staff wear petroleum blue garments, with vests for the waiters and waitresses and jackets for the maitre. While guards and cleaning staff also have new garments.

All these uniforms have been made with modern, sustainable, and breathable fabrics to facilitate the workers’ labor.

The rest of the centers

The staff of the rest of the centers will wear their new garments in the coming days.

Thus, shortly, the workers of Jameos del Agua and the Cactus Garden will wear their traditional uniforms, the maitres in lilac and the dining room staff in orange. 

For their part, the restaurant staff of the Mirador del Río will wear blue with the maitre in lilac. At the Monumento al Campesino, the traditional costume will be recovered with a Mao-collar shirt and a sash at the waist.
