The Cabildo de Fuerteventura, through its Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries department, paid a well-deserved tribute to majorera rural women at an event held at the Fuerteventura Archaeological Museum in Betancuria.<\/p>\n
To mark Rural Women’s Day (15 October), the island authority sought to give visibility to the women of rural Fuerteventura by honouring a total of six women: livestock entrepreneur Margot Robayna Alonso (Betancuria), cheese producer Alicia Mart\u00ednez (Antigua), rural woman Asunci\u00f3n Alonso Viera (La Oliva), livestock entrepreneur from Toto, Teresa del Pino Hern\u00e1ndez Ramos (P\u00e1jara), Mar\u00eda Jes\u00fas Rodr\u00edguez Vera (Puerto del Rosario), and Carmen Delia Su\u00e1lez Pe\u00f1a (Tuineje), president of the Asociaci\u00f3n de Productores del Campo Majorero.<\/p>\n
The awards were presented by the president of the Cabildo, Lola Garc\u00eda, the councillor for Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, Enrique P\u00e9rez, the first deputy mayor of Antigua, Joana Verde, the director general of Livestock, Andr\u00e9s D\u00edaz Matoso, and the area’s councillors Jonathan Pe\u00f1a (Tuineje), Rub\u00e9n Gonz\u00e1lez (La Oliva), David de Le\u00f3n (Puerto del Rosario) and Jos\u00e9 D\u00edaz (P\u00e1jara).<\/p>\n
For Lola Garc\u00eda, \u201cit is important to acknowledge the work of so many women who have devoted their lives to supporting their families, working the land and keeping our traditions alive, and to do so in a place so closely linked to our history as Betancuria. A history that has been built through the daily work of women.\u201d<\/p>\n
The event also featured musical performances by Domingo Saavedra and Marey Mart\u00edn on piano and vocals respectively, in the warm company of neighbours, friends and family of those honoured.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
