Leonor Perez, the mother of Cuban National Hero Jose Marti, has been unveiled in a downtown park in the Canary Island's locality of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

The bust, produced by sculptor Telvia Martin, was installed at the Garcia Sanabria Park to pay honor to the mother of the Apostle of Cuban Independence, who was born in that city on December 17, 1828.

The unveiling ceremony was attended by Cuban consul in Tenerife, Enrique Alberto Silvestre, Mayor Miguel Zerolo and several local officials.
