Photographer Tony Alcántara received a heartfelt tribute at the Llotja de Lleida last Monday, marking his retirement after a long and dedicated professional career.

Retirement, often perceived by children as simply 'getting paid without working,' is the well-deserved reward provided by the system after decades of professional effort and contribution.
The event, held at the Llotja de Lleida, was attended by the city's main institutional representatives, who publicly acknowledged Tony Alcántara's significant work.
Alcántara was praised as an example of professionalism, loyalty, and a great colleague. His commitment was highlighted, including an instance where he helped ensure the newspaper was published the day after a blackout by allowing reporters to work from his relative's home.
After his extensive career, he is wished a joyful retirement, free to pursue whatever activities he chooses, having earned this period of rest and enjoyment.
