Life Awards success in Teulada-Moraira

The Vida Teulada-Moraira first-ever gala was a huge success for the municipality, celebrating the town´s most dedicated residents. 

Held on May 23 at the Auditori Teulada-Moraira, the gala started at 7.15pm with a live DJ set, filmed by the La 8 Mediterraneo channel.  As the guests arrived, the Auditori filled up with residents of the town who came to honour the community´s achievements. 

The Vida Teulada-Moraira gala awarded Vicente Oller Torres in the “dedication” category for his 37 years of work as a janitor at the Sant Ferrer public school. The priest and missionary, Vicente Berenguer Llopis, was awarded in “education”, for his revolutionary humanitarian work in Mozambique.

Antonio Ivars “Mixeta” was awarded in the “festivals and traditions” category for his commitment to the town´s traditions. The “sports” award was granted to Alfonso Buigues Torres, a 1992 Olympic torch bearer and the “exemplary woman” award was given to Leonor Valles Garcia, who at 78 years old, manages a restaurant and assists people in need.

The Award showed “special” honour to Isabel Julia Esquerdo who dedicated her life to education and was the first woman to become a councilor of Teulada.

The municipal mayor, Raul Llobell stated that the first gala was only the beginning “of a tradition that is expected to last over time, recognizing and celebrating the neighbours and associations that have left and continue to leave an indelible mark on Teulada-Moraira.”
