One of the longest streets in Palma bears his name. And he deserves it, unlike other figures to whom public thoroughfares have been dedicated. The physician Bernat Riera Alemany, General Riera, dedicated his life to saving lives. He did so by trying to promote the latest medical advances and hygienic practices in Mallorca, urging the authorities to take measures in this regard, and concerning himself with women, children, and the sectors of the population in the worst situation, in addition to being a forerunner of tourism and self-government. We remember him as the hundredth anniversary of his death approaches, on November 16, 1926.
