During the upcoming autumn, the program will explore some of Álava's most beautiful landscapes. Included destinations are Korres, Garaia, Gonga, Otazu, the necropolis of Santa Maria de Tejuela, Albertia, la campa de la manzanilla, Korrosparri, Acedo, and Navaridas.
Ana López de Uralde, the Councilor for Sports, explained that "this activity is very well received by nature lovers and allows us to bring people over 55 closer to the mountains and our nearest natural environment." Participants can choose routes that best suit their physical condition.
Each excursion will have a maximum of 100 spots. The routes, ranging from 7 to 10 kilometers, will be either circular or linear and classified by difficulty level, with Tuesdays' routes being more demanding than Thursdays'.
This season, emphasis will be placed on participants attending with proper identification, such as a DNI or health card, to ensure the safety and smooth running of the outings.
The campaign includes transportation service, departing at 8:30 AM and returning around 2:00 PM. Stops will be made at the Judimendi and Iparralde Civic Centers and on Gasteiz Avenue (near the Palace of Justice).
Registration opens on September 4th at 8:30 AM and can be done in person until 1:00 PM the day before each excursion at the network of civic centers and municipal sports facilities. The fee is 2.70 euros for subscribers to municipal sports facilities and 4.30 euros for non-subscribers.
Those needing support for the activity can request it during registration by submitting an application that will be evaluated by the sports coordinator. Detailed information for each route will be available for consultation and download on the municipal website.
The campaign runs in two seasons: spring (May and June) and autumn (September and October), with a total of 20 annual excursions. For the autumn season, 10 routes have been scheduled, taking place on Tuesdays and Thursdays from September 15th to October 15th.
