Albox’s young people already have a destination for this summer: Cádiz. Albox Town Council, through its Youth department, is launching ‘Kilómetro Joven Albox’ (Youth Kilometre) this year, a two-day trip on 26 and 27 August for young men and women aged between 18 and 24 who are registered on the padrón (the municipal register), the council has announced.
What is new about this first edition is how the destination was chosen. It was not decided by the town council but by the young people themselves, who voted in a survey to choose between several proposals, and Cádiz was the most popular option. The trip will be funded by the council and will have a programme combining leisure, socialising and time to get to know the city.
The mayor, María del Mar Alfonso, has asked anyone interested not to wait to sign up, as places are limited. “Cádiz was the city most voted for by our young people and we are going to help make this trip a great experience”, she said.
How to sign up
If you are aged between 18 and 24 and registered on the padrón in Albox, sign-ups are still open on the council phone number 661 47 71 51, as the councillor for Children, Youth and Senior Citizens, Lucía Gómez, explained on esRadio Almería. For the town council, the initiative is part of its commitment to offering young people healthy leisure alternatives and activities that strengthen the bonds between the town’s young people.
More plans this week with ‘Albox Brilla’
The trip joins the ‘Albox Brilla’ (Albox Shines) summer programme, which has two events for all ages this week:
- This Wednesday, 19 August, at 22:00: summer cinema in the Plaza de San Francisco with a screening of ‘Mufasa’.
- Thursday 20: a free-entry foam party at the Llano de los Olleres.
With the departure for Cádiz just over a week away, it’s best not to hang about: the town council is encouraging young people who want to join in to book a place as soon as possible and so be part of the launch of an initiative designed with them in mind.
