The plaza des Cup hosted yesterday the emotional tribute to the elders of S'Alqueria Blanca, recognising the couples celebrating 50 years of marriage.

The plaza des Cup of S'Alqueria Blanca was yesterday the stage for one of the most anticipated events of the Sant Roc Festivities: the traditional tribute to the elderly of the village. The evening was designed to highlight the journey of the oldest residents and to thank them for their contribution to the community.

The event included a special moment for the couples from the locality who are celebrating their golden weddings this year, that is, their fifty years of marriage. The organisers wanted to recognise their life together and their roots in the village, in an event that brought together dozens of residents.

During the celebration, commemorative items were distributed among all attendees, in a festive atmosphere marked by memories, affection, and reunions among neighbours. Music and lively conversations were the soundtrack of a night that once again demonstrated the strong social fabric of S'Alqueria Blanca.

The Santanyí Town Hall and the festival organisers wanted to thank all those who made this event possible, as well as the work of the organising team. The evening is part of the patron saint festivities of Sant Roc, which continue these days with more events for all audiences.

For the residents of S'Alqueria Blanca, this tribute represents a recognition of the elders who have built the village and a gesture of gratitude towards the couples who have shared their lives for half a century. A tradition that the municipality maintains year after year and that reinforces the bonds of the community.
