The Lugo City Council will posthumously name Mariano Castiñeira Villaseca an Honorary Adoptive Son of the city this Friday, November 13th, recognizing his life dedicated to sports, knowledge, and commitment to the city.

The mayor, Elena Candia, highlighted the great affection that Mariano Castiñeira inspired among the citizens of Lugo and the impact he left. The event will take place in the Fuxan os Ventos auditorium.
Representatives from sports clubs and individuals who shared years of learning and experiences with him will also attend the ceremony. The family will receive the institutional symbols: the accreditation diploma will be presented to his widow, and each of his three children will receive a commemorative plaque.
Music will accompany the event with pieces performed by the clarinet quartet Díese. The City Council invites all citizens to participate in this tribute, a distinction that received unanimous agreement in the plenary session held in June of this year.
