Tribute to the Goya Family at the Terrero de Lucha de Ravelo

The municipality of El Sauzal is preparing for an emotional tribute to the Goya Family, in a special event taking place on Saturday 11 July 2026, at 20:00, at the Terrero de Lucha de Ravelo. Admission will be free for all attendees. This event celebrates the Town Council's decision to name the current Terrero de Lucha de Ravelo after the Goya Family, in recognition of their deep connection and contribution to Canarian wrestling, in accordance with the Municipal Regulations on Honours and Distinctions.

The Goya Family has been linked to Canarian wrestling in El Sauzal, specifically in the Ravelo neighbourhood, for generations. They have trained great wrestlers and have been guardians of the respect and appreciation for this vernacular sport, passing on their passion from parents to children and from children to grandchildren. Canarian wrestling is more than a sport; it is a vibrant expression of the identity and culture of the Canarian people. Families like the Goyas are fundamental pillars for its development, preservation, and dissemination, and their intergenerational legacy is key to understanding how this traditional sport has remained alive thanks to their example, their commitment to the community, and their unwavering passion.

This tribute aims to highlight and celebrate the soul of Canarian wrestling, represented by the Goya Family: effort, nobility, respect, and continuity. Their invaluable legacy is an indispensable part of the town's intangible heritage and, for this reason, they are deserving of such a significant public distinction.
