ON Monday, 29 November, Torrevieja’s Mayor Pedro Hernandez Mateo, along with the councillor for Culture and Festivals, Eduardo Dolon Sanchez, presented the new Queen of Salt for 2010/11, Cristina Baeza Morales, along with her Maids of Honour, Yasmina Herranz González Pérez and Silvia Torres.
The Mayor congratulated the Councillor for Culture and Festivals on the excellent show put on last Saturday in the Municipal Theatre, which resulted in the Proclamation and Coronation of the Torrevieja Salt Queen. Mateo Hernandez presented the three young torrevejenses, all of who were visiting the Plenary Hall of the City Hall for the first time. The mayor gave all of the finalists gifts in the shape of a typical, salt lake boat, crystallized in Torrevieja Salt, and congratulated them all for being the representatives of torrevejense women, both outside and inside the city.
Hernandez Mateo encouraged them to enjoy “this journey that has just begun” for these three ladies who will represent the people of Torrevieja throughout 2011.
