The Councilor for Culture has referred to the installation that has been carried out in recent days, within this initiative, of a tile mural with the poem 'My Plaza ", which the poet Carlos Mellado dedicated to the Plaza del Negrito" and He recalled that "in 2018 it was unanimously approved by the municipal plenary after a motion presented by the mayor Adoración Peñas to promote local writers and poets by exhibiting fragments of their works and poems in significant corners of public spaces in Lorca." María Ángeles Mazuecos explained that "what has been done, now, from the Department of Culture is to collect this piece from the workshop where it was found since it was made in 1997 by the potter Martín Lario, as was recorded in the own work, for its placement where it belongs ". Mazuecos Moreno explained that "our intention is to place tile murals with extracts of the works of different Lorca poets or writers in different locations in the urban area, as a tribute, also counting on the great work of the different local artisans" . The mayor of Culture has indicated that "for the installation of this mural in the Plaza del Negrito we contacted the Colegio San Francisco de Asís, owner of the wall where it has been placed, as well as with the General Directorate of Cultural Assets, as it is an environment classified as good for its cultural relevance ".
