A commemorative plaque will be installed in the Canary Islands in honor of Michael Schumacher and other distinguished guests of the city.

"Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country" – these words of John Kennedy, spoken back in 1961, are still relevant today.

And there are people who not only talk but also act. For example, the owners of the Tigaiga Hotel, Enrique and Irene Talg, who always care about their hometown of Puerto de la Cruz.

This time, they decided to commemorate the visit to the city of famous people, including the legendary racer Michael Schumacher.

Once, while walking, Enrique passed by the place where the kart races once finished. And he remembered how on December 7, 1986, a young Schumacher, then only a rising star in motorsport, participated in the championship final.

Then he had the idea to install a memorial plaque. To remind people of Schumacher, and to honor all the distinguished guests of the city, which is considered the cradle of tourism in the Canary Islands. After all, the naturalist Alexander von Humboldt, the writer Agatha Christie, and even The Beatles have been here.

Enrique shared the idea with his sister Irene, and they got to work. Although it took several months to get permission from the Schumacher family. But everything worked out!

The plaque, created by artist Felipe Hodgson and funded by local authorities, will be unveiled tomorrow on Avenida José María del Campo Llanera. The opening will be attended by the mayor of the city, advisors on tourism and other issues, as well as representatives of the authorities of the island of Tenerife. They will be joined by Hortensia Hernández, the first female racer in the Canary Islands, and Julio Martínez, the organizer of the Overcame Isla Tenerife Histórico 2025 rally.

"This is just a reminder," says Enrique Talg. "It will not be a place of pilgrimage for Formula 1 fans, but it is a small way to honor the memory of distinguished guests and attract tourists."
