The municipal hiking project «Allanando el Camino» in Puerto del Rosario celebrates its twentieth anniversary, consolidating itself as a key initiative to promote active aging, community, and well-being for the municipality's elderly residents.

The initiative, which began two decades ago with the aim of offering seniors opportunities to stay active, enjoy nature, and share experiences, continues to strengthen personal autonomy and foster new social relationships.
Throughout these twenty years, «Allanando el Camino» has significantly contributed to promoting active and healthy aging, addressing not only physical exercise but also emotional well-being and the prevention of unwanted loneliness among participants.
As a new feature for the 2026 edition, participants will receive a backpack during the various outings and walks, designed to facilitate the transport of their belongings and improve their comfort during activities.
The City Council emphasizes the importance of continuing programs like this, which place seniors at the center of municipal policies, promoting spaces for participation, autonomy, socialization, and quality of life.
