Tens of Thousands Pay Respects to Robe Iniesta in 12-Hour Plasencia Tribute

Careful planning turned the Palacio de Congresos into a quiet, continuous farewell with on‑stage tributes.

Overview

  • Authorities and organizers put attendance over the day at roughly 30,000 to 40,000, with queues stretching up to several kilometres and multi‑hour waits.
  • The homage ran from 10:00 to 22:00 and concluded without incidents as mourners moved through in a calm, emotional atmosphere.
  • Inside the auditorium, his ashes were displayed beside personal items including a yellow scarf and guitars, with multiple books of condolence available for messages.
  • Short, periodic performances featured Los Robe and poet Manolo Chinato, who recited verses such as “Ama, ama, ama y ensancha el alma.”
  • A reinforced mobility and security plan managed traffic and access, regional figures attended in a personal capacity, and local media reported the venue now bears his name while other outlets said the renaming is pending.
