This was announced this Monday at a press conference by the Councilor for Equality, Ana Belén Abellán, who stressed that these initiatives that will be carried out during these two months are part of the Co-Responsible Plan promoted by the Consistory.
Abellán explained that, first of all, a recreational and adventure day will be held on May 30 for children between 3 and 12 years of age, which will take place in the sports hall of the Alberto Sánchez Public School and in the Javier Lozano Sports Pavilion .
In this sense, he highlighted that, within this activity, 192 minors will carry out different recreational and sports activities such as climbing, archery, bullet circuit, obstacle course and inflatables.
