A day like this Monday, September 25, 1992, César Manrique died in a traffic accident at the intersection that today bears his name, in Tahíche. Fourteen years later the island continues to remember him and for that, to remember his figure, a group of workers from the Art, Culture and Tourism Centers of the Cabildo have gathered in front of his tomb, in the town of Haría, who, accompanied by the president of the Cabildo, Inés Rojas, the vice president of the Institution, Mario Pérez, and the councilor of the CACTS, Pedro San Ginés, in addition to one of Manrique's brothers, laid a floral offering on the artist's tomb.
A few lines in his memory, that was, in addition to the flowers, the tribute of the CACTS workers, who read before the silence of those present. Even the notes of some guitars served to commemorate this sad anniversary. It was this Monday, the tribute that the workers paid to the ideologue of tourism based on the island's natural resources.
Among those present was the mayor of Haría, José Torres Stinga, and Francisco Cabrera, spokesperson for the Popular Party, whose political formation has praised the initiative that, year after year, the CACTS workers carry out every September 25. For the PP, "today, César's thought is valid and more valid than ever."
