More than 50 children, aged 3 to 12, from Puntallana participated in the summer activities program organized by the City Council, which combined leisure, education, and sports.

During July and August, the initiative aimed to facilitate work-life balance for residents. The program was funded by the Ministry of Equality, the Secretariat of State for Equality and Against Gender Violence, in collaboration with the Government of the Canary Islands, the Federation of Canary Municipalities (FECAM), and the Puntallana City Council.
The program offered a wide range of activities, including sports such as water inflatables, visits to the municipal climbing wall and football field, local hiking trails, days at Los Cancajos beach, and a trip to Maroparque.
Children also engaged in creative workshops for painting and crafts, robotics, sign language, and baking. Additionally, they participated in educational activities under the 'Aprende Jugando' program and other learning initiatives.

"The objective has been to offer children an active summer, with different proposals adapted to their ages, combining fun and learning."
