Los Realejos to Award Gold Medals to Two Historic Musical Societies

The Tenerife Council has officially moved to award the Gold Medal of the Town to two local institutions: the Philharmonic Musical Society of Los Realejos and the Cruz Santa Musical Group. This honor recognizes their decades of work in preserving the cultural heritage of northern Tenerife. The proposal is now entering a public review period, where residents can offer their support for the distinction.

The award highlights the vital role these bands play as centers for artistic education and as cornerstones of local identity. It is rare for two such long-standing musical groups to thrive in the same municipality, and their impact goes far beyond performing at local festivals. Both groups are essential to the community because they run their own training schools, ensuring that younger generations continue these musical traditions and keeping the area’s culture vibrant.

Mayor Adolfo González and Culture Councilor Alba Hernández have emphasized that this recognition celebrates the historical legacy and educational influence these groups have had on the people of Los Realejos. As the administrative process moves toward final approval, the public will have the opportunity to show their support for the nomination in the coming weeks.
