On 7 March 2026 a new Board was elected. The person responsible for the handover was not one of them — that role was assumed by an external lawyer whom nobody had elected. Her name: Eugenia Talavera Plata.
Who is this woman? That is the question the owners of C.C. Cita should be asking themselves before 18 April.
About the Person
Eugenia Talavera Plata is a lawyer based in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. She studied Law at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC) — from 2009 to 2014 — and has since practised as a self-employed lawyer. Her firm Talavera Plata & Asociados is headquartered at Calle Barcelona 25, 1st floor, in the Alcaravaneras neighbourhood. The firm has one other lawyer, Alejandro Pérez Otero, and she is registered with the Las Palmas Bar Association (ICALPA) under membership number 5844.
What she is not at C.C. Cita: an elected representative of the Board. She was appointed to manage the handover process by the new president William Enrique Reyes following the owners' meeting of 7 March 2026 — without a Board resolution, without a formal mandate, without any obligation to account to the owners.
Item 3 on the agenda of the Extraordinary General Meeting of 18 April 2026 reads: Election of a new Administrator/Secretary. CITA News documents what public sources reveal about the intended candidate.
A General Practice Without Specialisation
The firm's range of services is broad: civil law, criminal law, employment law, immigration law, commercial law — and the management of owners' communities. The latter is expressly listed on its website. This is not the profile of a specialist. It is the typical offering of a small generalist firm that takes whatever work comes its way.
Particularly striking: Administración de Comunidades de Propietarios — the management of owners' communities — is one of the advertised services. That is precisely the position she is seeking at C.C. Cita. She is therefore applying for a paid role in which she was already acting in advance and which she herself helped to shape.
What the Numbers Show
Three facts that speak for themselves:
First: Barely present in court. The official judicial register CENDOJ lists exactly 31 rulings with her as counsel between 2018 and 2025. An active firm would have accumulated hundreds in that time. And of those 31 cases, exactly one falls under community law — none of them demonstrates operational management experience. The breakdown:
| Legal area | No. of cases |
|---|---|
| Civil law (general, appeals) | approx. 24 |
| Criminal law | approx. 4 |
| Administrative law | 1 |
| Commercial law | 1 |
| Horizontal Property / community law | 1 |
Second: Legal aid scheme after more than ten years. She is enrolled in the state-run legal aid scheme — a system of court-appointed defence at fixed, low rates, in which established firms do not usually participate. After a decade of self-employed practice, this enrolment is notable.
Third: Her own company had no tax identification number in 2021. In addition to the law firm, she runs EUTAPLA GRUPO SL (formerly Eridania Grupo SL). In August 2021, the Spanish tax authority revoked the company's tax identification number — an officially documented fact that typically indicates that tax returns had not been filed for years. The timeline:
| Date | Event | Source |
|---|---|---|
| May 2004 | Incorporated as Eridania Grupo SL by third parties | DatosCif |
| March 2006 | Eugenia Talavera Plata registered as authorised representative | BORME |
| August 2021 | Tax identification number revoked by tax authority — provisional closure of register entry | BORME 31.08.2021 |
| November 2023 | Appointed sole administrator | Infonif |
| November 2024 | Name changed to EUTAPLA GRUPO SL | BORME 05.12.2024 |
| March 2025 | Business extended to include insurance brokerage | BORME 2025 |
What Happened at C.C. Cita
From 7 March onwards she took charge of the handover process — without a Board resolution, without a mandate, without any obligation to account to anyone. On 13 March she informed the Secretary that she intended to assume the paid position she was already occupying in practice. The full account is documented in the main article by this editorial team.
What is relevant here: shortly after his election, president William Enrique Reyes travelled to Cuba — according to information available to this editorial team, for around ten days. Requests were processed through her. Decisions were made by her. The candidacy was announced by her — not by him. This may be a division of labour. What is documented is that Talavera Plata was the operational point of contact.
The pattern was already visible in January. At the extraordinary meeting, William barely spoke. Talavera Plata took verbal control — loudly, repeatedly and persistently. She talked over the interventions of the former Board. William stayed silent. Eugenia spoke. According to one attendee at the assembly, the driving force that morning was not the president. It was his lawyer.
54 Questions — Not One Answered
On 31 March 2026 the new Board forwarded 54 written questions to Talavera Plata: about bank accounts, contracts, minutes, outstanding liabilities, stolen computers and the state of the handover. The response: "Ok perfecto." — and then silence. The deadline was 3 April 2026. The 3rd of April arrived. And passed. Not a single question was answered in writing.
What Owners Need to Know
The Extraordinary General Meeting of C.C. Cita takes place on 18 April 2026. Item 3 of the official agenda — signed by president William Enrique Reyes on 6 April 2026 — reads: Election of a new Administrator/Secretary. The owners will vote directly on who will manage the shopping centre going forward.
No specialisation in community law. In ten years of self-employed practice, not a single case appearing in the public judicial database demonstrates operational management experience with an owners' community.
Tax identification number revoked by the tax authority. The company EUTAPLA GRUPO SL had its tax number revoked in 2021 — an officially documented fact that typically points to tax returns not having been filed for years.
Legal aid scheme after more than ten years. Enrolment in the state legal aid scheme — the court-appointed defence system — is unusual for an established firm after a decade of self-employed practice.
Without a Board Resolution. She assumed control of the handover process from 7 March 2026 without the community's elected bodies having agreed to this.
Conflict of interest by her own declaration. On 13 March she personally informed the Secretary that she intended to put herself forward for the paid role of administrator — while already performing that role in practice.
54 questions. No answers. The 54 written questions submitted by the new Board on 31 March 2026 received not a single written response before the deadline of 3 April expired.
Barely Present Online — and the Office Location
A Google search for "Eugenia Talavera Plata" returns almost exclusively entries from her own website and the commercial register. Not a single article in a Canarian newspaper — not in La Provincia, not in Canarias7, not in El Día. No mention in a local outlet, no citation as an expert, no commentary on a legal case. For a lawyer who has been practising in Las Palmas for more than ten years, this is a striking absence.
The building at Calle Barcelona 25 — visible on Google Street View — is a residential property in the Alcaravaneras neighbourhood. The office is on the first floor; a sign bearing the word "ABOGADOS" marks the entrance. The premises are consistent with those of a small generalist practice.
The remuneration for an administrator of a shopping centre of C.C. Cita's scale — with more than a hundred owners, several ongoing contracts and an annual budget in the six-figure range — typically falls between €2,500 and €4,000 per month. Whether the documented professional profile matches the scope of this mandate is a question the owners can weigh for themselves when they vote on 18 April.
