Paseo de los toreros


"[ES] Por ello, las tres primeras placas que se han situado están dedicadas a los insignes toreros: Pedro Romero, Cayetano Ordóñez ‘Niño de la Palma’ y Antonio Ordóñez. No obstante la regidora informó que se va a crear una comisión formada por personas “cercanas” al mundo de los toros que irán determinando el nombre de los matadores que tendrán un recuerdo en este paseo y donde estamparán su firma y una huella de sus manos.

Las placas han sido diseñadas por el escultor local Juan Ramón Gimeno, que ha utilizado gres y cerámica. En ellas ha esculpido relieves de los tres toreros que han iniciado la lista del paseo.

En el acto de inauguración estuvieron presentes diferentes autoridades de la ciudad, representantes de los distintos colectivos sociales y culturales, miembros de las peñas taurinas y novilleros locales, entre otras personas.

La iniciativa ha sido realizada por la Delegación Municipal de Obras y Urbanismo, que ha actuado en la zona para eliminar el socavón que existía en ese lugar y para ello se han utilizado fondos del Plan ‘Proteja’.
