Yesterday, Adeje showed off both the festivities and the women’s football team by giving the new UD Costa Adeje Tenerife Egatesa – former UD Granadilla Tenerife Egatesa – the honor of making the offering to the Virgin of the Incarnation, its patron saint. All this on the day of the presentation of the celebration program, which will begin this Saturday, September 30.
The mayor, José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga, was responsible for explaining the importance of these festivities, accompanied by the Councilor for Culture, Adolfo Alonso, and the parish priest of the town, Agalac Alonso, along with whom he received six young people who will represent the different foreign nuclei. The Councilor for Education, Coraima Afonso Navarro, also attended the event.
Rodríguez Fraga announced that the crier of the major festivals, which encompass the entire municipality, will be the former island councilor of Carreras of the Cabildo of Tenerife and former general director of Road Infrastructure of the Government of the Canary Islands, José Luis Delgado, of whom he recalled the close bond that it has with Adeje, as well as its role, both in the completion of the island ring and the false tunnel that will allow the TF-1 highway to be buried underground as it passes through the tourist city of the municipality. The event will take place at 7:30 p.m. in the new Auditorium.
The mayor stressed that this celebration will be closely linked to La Gomera, as it marks the 25th anniversary of the twinning of Adeje with this island, the origin of a large number of families from the south of Tenerife.
The festivities also bring together other anniversaries, such as the second anniversary of the canonical recognition of the Virgin of the Incarnation as patron saint, the 35th anniversary of the festival organized by the Adeje Municipal Folklore School Group and the centenary of the municipal band, such as said the person in charge of Culture.
Representatives of the neighborhoods and the town
At the presentation ceremony of the festivities, the representatives of the different centers of Adeje were announced. For the Las Nieves neighborhood it will be Yanira Pérez Lugo; Los Olivos, Paula Brito Negrín; Armeñime, Karla Cano Galindo; La Caleta, Yaiza Sánchez Mederos; Tijoco-La Hoya, Diana Concepción Santana Mesa; Fañabé, Aayushi Udasi Manuja, and Adeje Casco, Lucía García Mederos.
However, the Adeje councilor, José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga, assured that “in Adeje it has been thirty years since we stopped holding beauty competitions; “We do not elect a queen, but rather representatives of the municipality.”
