Junior Carnival Queen in Santa Cruz de Tenerife 2022, Vera García Lima |
The Junior Carnival Queen in Santa Cruz de Tenerife 2022 is Vera García Lima, with, "La Más Bonita Que Llegó a Canarias" (The most beautiful woman who arrived in the Canary Islands), designed by Alexis Santana and representing Marino Tenerife. "The design is a tribute to tourism and to all the professionals who belong to this sector," says Alexis Santana, after saying that "my mother, my aunt and grandmother have all worked in this sector as chambermaids and I know first-hand the importance that it supposes for the economy of the Canary Islands, as it allows the sustenance of thousands of families".

Her maternal great-grandfather is Ginés, who, at 80, is a veteran of the Las Celias group, along with her grandparents.
