Canary Islands Descendants Association 2026 Fiesta Medal
"2026 Sister Cities Commemorative Design
This striking 2026 Fiesta medal honors the enduring cultural connection between San Antonio, Texas and the Canary Islands through the historic Sister Cities agreement.
Centered on the iconic façade of San Fernando Cathedral, the heart of San Antonio’s heritage, the design features elegant double doors that open to reveal Our Lady of Candelaria, patroness saint of the Canary Islands.
Three beautifully colored dangling charms represent the Canarian sister islands — Tenerife (1983) in aqua, Gran Canaria (1975) in white and Lanzarote (2025) in gold — each a vibrant emblem of unity, heritage, and shared celebration.
This medal is a tribute to the families, traditions, and enduring friendships that span oceans and generations."
