The municipality of Colindres has revealed its planned activities for August, promising a calendar filled with cultural, sporting, youth, and family events designed for everyone. Over the coming weeks, both residents and visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy concerts, sports competitions, circus shows, children's activities, international folklore, outdoor cinema, and established events such as the Mercado Marinero and Los Jueves del Kiosco.
Mayor Javier Incera stated, “We have prepared a wide and varied programme so that both the people of Colindres and those who visit us during the summer can find activities suited to all tastes and ages. Our goal is to continue energising the municipality and make Colindres a reference point for leisure and culture during the summer months.”
He also highlighted the collaborative effort of various departments, associations, and groups involved in organising these activities, noting that their success relies on the engagement of many individuals and organisations.
The programme will kick off on 1 and 2 August with the El Juncu Futsal Tournament at the local sports centre. On 1 August, the concert “Les Amitiés Florissantes” by Duo Baalbeck will take place at the Casa de Cultura, alongside a youth activity called “Survival Zombi” organised by the Youth Centre.
