The sports councillor of Albacete, Francisco Villaescusa, has unveiled the fifth edition of the Mountain Days, an event that has become essential for mountain sports enthusiasts. He was joined by Daniel Sancha, provincial deputy for sports, and Óscar Cardo, vice-president of the Regional Mountaineering Federation.
