The Canarian natural stone industry applauds its use in the Plaza de Teror

The Canarian natural stone industry in Tenerife applauds the commitment of the Candelaria City Council to the use of this material in the comprehensive renovation of the Plaza de Teror. This “scarce” sector on the Island highlights “the importance” that a work like this represents for it, in the execution of which the use of chasnera stone from Arico and millstone from Tenerife, volcanic materials very representative of the Island, stands out. “the good judgment of those responsible for Urban Planning and its technical department, who seek to provide their own identity to the public spaces of the municipality with materials from Tenerife.”

The actions of the Candelaria City Council in favor of «a sector heavily punished by imported materials” is an advance. “It is regrettable and incomprehensible to see that in the few works designed with Canary stone, in the vast majority of cases, they end up being replaced by materials imported from China, Turkey or India.” A fact that “contributes to the collapse and closure of the little industry that remains in Canary Islands».

The sector explains that, for years, both the councils and the autonomous government “have adopted resolutions recommending the support for Canarian natural stone, whenever possible. However, these resolutions, in many cases and in practice, only remain on paper, imposing criteria and materials other than those recommended in the final execution of the works.

In this framework, the natural stone industry in Tenerife applauds “again” the Candelaria City Council and urges “the rest of the public institutions of the Islands to adopt a policy of acting with the same criterion, and no other, of protecting the trade, economy and industry of the Canary Islands.

The sector remembers that the Autonomous Community lives mainly from tourism, “this type of action being key and extremely important due to the added value that our ornamental stones provide in public spaces, buildings and environments of the Islands, contributing, at the same time, to preserve a trade as old as stonemasonry in the Canary Islands. Take as an example the legacy of Cesar Manrique on the island of Lanzarote.

The Plaza de Teror is an emblematic space for Candelaria, which houses “representative stone monoliths that were brought, in their day, from each island”, whose comprehensive renovation has a budget of 308,580 euros. The work must be completed within six months.
