Todoque was a beautiful small town located on La Palma, Canary Islands, totally engulfed in 2021 by the lava flow of the Tajogaite volcano. In November 2021 it was proposed to raise the Nuevo Todoque, building ecological houses from the volcanic ash which affected the lives of the inhabitants of Todoque.Naming citation (WGSBN Bull. 5, #28, 18), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
