About this event
Day: Saturday, July 11, 2026.\nTime: 8:00 PM.\nPlace: Terrero de Lucha de Ravelo.\nAdmission: Free.\nThe City Council, in session, approved the naming of Familia Goya for the current Terrero de Lucha de Ravelo, in accordance with the Municipal Regulations on Honors and Distinctions.\nThe Goya Family, linked for generations to the Canary Islands’ lucha canaria in our Municipality, specifically in the Ravelo neighborhood, has produced great fighters and has shown how to transmit respect and value for our vernacular sport from parents to children and from children to grandchildren.\nLucha canaria is more than a sport; it is a living expression of the identity and culture of the Canary people. Within this universe of traditions and values, there are families that have been fundamental pillars for its development, preservation, and diffusion. The Goya Family is a clear example of this intergenerational heritage. Recognizing their role is key to understanding how lucha canaria has remained alive thanks to their example, community commitment, and passion for this sport.\nThe Goya Family represents the soul of lucha canaria: effort, nobility, respect, and continuity. Their legacy deserves to be made visible and celebrated as an indispensable part of our locality’s intangible heritage; therefore, they are deemed worthy of a public distinction.\nAdd to calendar\n- iCalendar
