The Los Realejos City Council announces that it will create a park of dragon trees in several plots that add up to 2,792 square meters acquired in the historical complex of Realejo Bajo. The objective of the local government (PP) is to offer “A green and tourist lung in the historic center of Realejo Bajo, among buildings of heritage value”. This initiative is linked to the recent acquisition of a large house between La Acequia and Toste streets, where it is planned to set up the interpretation center for this area of the municipality.
The mayor of Los Realejos, Manuel Domínguez (PP), announces that this purchase of plots intends to guarantee the ineffectiveness in the area and the development of a free space that complements the future interpretation center of Realejo Bajo.
Domínguez has negotiated with the Government of the Canary Islands the approval of an amendment to the next general budgets of the autonomous community that guarantees for the year 2022 a regional subsidy to the City of Los Realejos for the drafting of the rehabilitation project of the aforementioned historic property, house museum and park. “An investment that will make it possible to have a technical document that promotes the award and development of this idea in favor of the conservation and heritage dissemination of the environment, and the creation of a unique environmental space for the enhancement of dragon trees”, he advances .
In his opinion, «these previous acquisitions and the future project will prevent the buildability of this environment between La Acequia, Toste and Márquez streets, is a direct measure of conservation of the existing heritage landscape in the historic complex, since new constructions in the block will be avoided and the possible coexistence of new volumes of buildings is eliminated, which could distort the cultural identity of the entire city. environment”.
The aforementioned house museum and adjacent historical park will have as a common thread the historical references from the aboriginal stage to the Hacienda de los Príncipes, as well as the subsequent development.
