This year the carpets of the municipality of La Orotava will have ash expressly brought from the island of La Palma, as confirmed by the mayor of the municipality of Villero, Francisco Linares. The municipal councilor explained that two months ago they traveled to the island with the aim of collecting around 8,000 kilos of ash, to pay homage to the volcanic drama and that it will be represented as a novelty.
Linares has indicated that, in the infra-octave of Corpus Christi, in which work will begin once the Holy Week events are over with the placement of the tents to carry out the work, the palm ash will have a special role, especially due to the nuances that offers its color.
The mayor has also affirmed that for this extraction, they requested the pertinent authorizations, although there were tons of ash, and that with the amount collected they will have for ten years.
