Tourists from southern Gran Canaria discover Canarian wrestling through a new cultural event.

 

On July 17, the Vice President of the Gran Canaria Island Council and Regional Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure, Architecture and Housing, Augusto Hidalgo, and the Regional Minister of Tourism, Carlos Álamo, oversaw the project sponsored by the island's Vice Presidency to promote Canarian wrestling among tourists who come to the south and southwest of the island on vacation, with exhibitions in hotels in tourist areas.

 

 

The Castillo del Romeral Wrestling Club is responsible for implementing this project, which was initiated by the Vice President of the Gran Canaria Island Council and funded by the Vice President's Office. The project aims to promote the local sport and disseminate Gran Canarian culture and traditions in hotels in the south and southwest of the island. In this way, wrestlers perform exhibitions in various venues in the tourist area, showcasing the history and values of Canarian wrestling. 

 

A representative of the Castillo del Romeral Wrestling Club team performed a Canarian wrestling exhibition yesterday afternoon in the Annex II area of Playa del Inglés in front of Augusto Hidalgo and Carlos Álamo, to the curious attention of numerous tourists. 

 

 

The exhibition attracted many attention, and some tourists even dared to participate in several fights with wrestlers from the Club del Castillo del Romeral, an organization that also runs a recruitment program in schools in San Bartolomé de Tirajana.
