Similarly, the councillor for the Centro-Ifara district, Purificación Dávila, encouraged residents to come to the Alameda “to enjoy both the burgers and the music, in the heart of Santa Cruz, an event we are collaborating on that will not only be for the enjoyment of the public but also to energise this part of the municipality.”
