The Maritime Museum of Santa Pola has inaugurated a room dedicated to the memory of Miguel Cuervo-Arango, a cultural figure and local promoter, featuring an exhibition by his niece.

The town of Santa Pola has paid tribute to Miguel Cuervo-Arango y Caso de los Cobos with the inauguration of an exhibition room in the Maritime Museum, two and a half years after his passing. The symbolic event took place in the Fortress Castle and was attended by family and friends, as well as the mayor of Santa Pola, Loreto Serrano, and the provincial deputy for Culture, Juan de Dios Navarro.
During the day, various authorities highlighted the respect and longing for the figure of Cuervo-Arango, who served as director of the Bras del Port saltworks and Honorary Lifetime Warden of the Santa Pola Fortress Castle. This recognition as Honorary Warden was unanimously granted by the Santa Pola plenary on August 26, 2005, in consideration of his services to the town and his humanist character.
His career included supporting the restoration of historical heritage, such as the intervention in the Torre del Tamarit, and his involvement in cultural activities linked to the Maritime Museum. In the sports field, he presided over the Santa Pola Yacht Club between 1987 and 1991, the Association of Yacht Clubs of the Province of Alicante, and was vice-president of the Valencian Community Rowing Federation.
In addition to the plaque naming the room, the City Council will also use his name for the public call for local plastic arts projects and historical and artistic interest exhibitions. The first exhibition in this new room is 'Weaving His Wake,' by Sofía Cuervo-Arango, Miguel's niece, which was selected by a jury of experts.
“

"Weaving His Wake» transforms the Mediterranean landscape into woven memory. Through a series of tapestries made from used marine ropes, reeds, wood, and natural fibers, the artist transforms the sea, salt flats, and coastal architecture into structures imbued with experience and meaning."
