Tuineje marks All Saints’ Day with large family turnout, strong community participation and a cemetery adorned for all

This Sunday marks All Saints’ Day, and we visited Tuineje cemetery, one of the oldest on the island, to witness numerous families reuniting with loved ones who are no longer with them. Turnout was very high, and residents shared a warm atmosphere amid the emotions and memories of this collective act of mourning. Public participation, encouraged by the Town Council, made it possible to prepare floral arrangements that have beautified the cemetery and also honoured those resting there who have no one to visit them.

Tuineje’s councillor for Works and Services acknowledges that the current contract, which runs until 2028, is insufficient to meet the needs of the growing municipality. He is calling for more staff, machinery and frequent cleaning, and proposes that all political groups help draw up the tender documents for the next contract, regardless of who is in government, starting in May 2026.

He also discussed the paving plan, preparations at the cemetery for All Saints’ Day and his optimistic outlook ahead of the elections on the 29th.

The party denounces the “absolute incompetence and paralysis” of the Coalición Canaria–PSOE governing pact, which it says has allowed Gran Tarajal’s most important cultural and economic event to die. José Manuel Quintana, the party’s island president, warns that the municipality “cannot remain under the control of an inept government that destroys our identity and punishes local businesses”.

Socialist MP Manuel Hernández Cerezo is calling on the Canary Islands Government and Puertos Canarios to draw up an extraordinary investment plan to compensate the municipality for the damage and losses it has suffered since Storm Emma. The Socialists say that, more than three years after plans to expand and redevelop the harbour were presented, the regional government has still set out no timetable, budget or administrative progress. “Gran Tarajal endured the consequences of the disaster for years and should now be the main beneficiary of the funds recovered,” the MP said.

Herrera warned of the risks of leaving the fishing boat at the commercial quay, recalling the serious consequences of the 2018 incident involving the barges.
