“Our neighbor Elena Reyes Rodríguez has left us. We will miss her very much. Elena was an extraordinary person, hardworking, resilient, creative and very generous. Every Wednesday and Saturday she gave us her smile and the best service at our Local Production Market and every time it was necessary to represent the farmers of Candelaria, she was there with Daniel, her husband.” This is how the mayor of Candelaria, Mari Brito, said goodbye yesterday to the soul of the farmer’s market, who, after a long fight against cancer, died on Monday at only 51 years old.
