The proposal to rename the Palace of Music in Torrevieja after pianist María Gil Vallejos will not be discussed at the March council meeting. This initiative, put forward by the Socialist municipal group to honour the prominent local musician, has encountered legal hurdles. A review has confirmed that the council formally committed to the name Union Musical Torrevejense in nineteen ninety-one, recognising the donation of land by the Union Musical Torrevejense itself.

Due to the failure to implement this agreement, the council considers it essential to respect the original commitment. In response, the Socialist group intends to submit a new institutional declaration during the April council meeting. This new proposal will recommend that the building retain the name Union Musical Torrevejense, while also naming the auditorium after María Gil Vallejos.

Additionally, the proposal includes the installation of a commemorative plaque in honour of Vallejos. This plan aims to ensure both the historic Union Musical Torrevejense and the pianist receive the recognition they deserve within the city.

Bárbara Soler, the Socialist spokesperson, emphasised that this solution brings justice to both the institution and the musician, effectively acknowledging their contributions to Torrevieja’s rich musical heritage.
