Alexis Pacheco, Councilor for Festivals of La Orotavaacknowledged that, after the rain destroyed part of the great tapestry of the Corpus of La Orotavaare destroyed, although he stressed that the decision to remove the protective tents was agreed.
Speaking to Cope TenerifePacheco pointed out that the idea of removing the tents had been agreed between the parties, specifically between the artisans in charge of making the great tapestry of the Corpus of La Orotava and the company that installs the protections: “We have lived through it with a lot of pain. The rain has affected and blurred two side tapestries. We were going to remove the central tent, but it was not done. It is carried out under three tents that cover 70% of the square, but there is almost 30% that is done when the tents are dismantled”.
“We were so unlucky that it could go right or wrong; It went wrong,” said Alexis Pacheco, who stressed that they were “destroyed.” “The two associations, ArteArena and the Asociación de Alfombristas de la Orotava, who make the great tapestry, have turned to throwing all possible hands to recover what can be recovered to offer it to the Blessed Sacrament. We are going to place some huge panels with those images contemplated in the tapestries so that the work that was almost finished can be seen”.
