Citizens of Texas impressed by sand carpets

San Antonio in Texas is in the midst of celebrating the 275th anniversary of its foundation in 1731. Sixteen families from the Canary Islands founded the city then, and regional and national authorities, as well as personalities and historians from mainland Spain and the Canary Islands, including eight “alfombristas” (sand carpet makers) from La Orotava, travelled to San Antonio to take part in the celebrations.
