The city of Arrecife has recovered its famous food stalls during the San Ginés festivities. This traditional space in past decades has returned to the capital in order to bring the "seafaring and characteristic atmosphere of a few decades ago when Los Sangineles arrived."
Mayor Yonathan de León has pursued that the spirit of Los Sangineles, with its traditional food stalls, return to the program of the patron saint festivities, and he conveyed this to the Festivities Area for its development.
Inside La Recova, the traditional food market of the capital of Lanzarote that was open in the past, the Department of Festivities, under the direction of the Deputy Mayor and Councilor Echedey Eugenio, with the municipal staff, has recreated the interior stalls with a marine theme so that they can offer gastronomic products and drinks during these weeks of patron saint festivities. Each night, La Recova has the musical accompaniment of parrandas and groups from Lanzarote.
Last night was the opening ceremony of the reopening of La Recova, by Mayor Yonathan de León, and the Deputy Mayor and Councilor of Festivities, Echedey Eugenio with these 'ventorrillos', which will remain open until August 25, the big day in Arrecife, and the festivity of San Ginés Obispo.
In 2023, the 225th anniversary of the founding of the main parish of San Ginés Obispo is commemorated, and the beginning and origin of Arrecife as a municipality. The capital would be in the second half of the last 19th century. The inauguration, which included a surprise visit from the singer from Lanzarote, Rosana, and proclaimer of the San Ginés Festivities this year, has been a public success and public recognition for this idea of the Municipal Government group.
The mayor highlighted on Friday night that, after this success, the food stalls have come to stay and will continue to be installed in the next editions of the festivities of the capital of Lanzarote. Yonatahn de León, remarked that they are already working so that, in addition to La Recova, they can be opened in other areas of Arrecife during 'Los Sangineles'.
For his part, Echedey Eugenio highlights that with this initiative "from the City Council we contribute to rescuing the charm and tradition of the old celebrations of the San Ginés Festivities, which have always been characterized, precisely, by the aroma and revelry of its food stalls."
The mayor Yonathan de León, and the deputy mayor, Echedey Eugenio, have thanked the great artistic and creative work of the municipal worker Tejure, who, with his human team from the Festivities Area, have been able to extraordinarily recreate the typicality of the food stalls with the marine and port environment very characteristic in the history of Arrecife as a city, port and capital.
