The Vilalba City Council will launch next week a new edition of rural revitalization activities, which will reach 22 parishes in the municipality with free proposals open to all residents.

The initiative, which has already been presented to neighborhood associations, will finally take place in the parishes that have confirmed their interest and have a sufficient number of people for its implementation. The activities are free and do not require prior registration, so residents only need to attend the social centers on the established days and times.
This year's offer includes four modalities: maintenance gymnastics, pilates, memory activities, and crafts. These sessions aim to contribute to the well-being of the residents, allowing them to stay active, learn, and share time with others.

"We want the residents of the parishes to have access to activities that contribute to their well-being and allow them to stay active, learn, and spend time with other people."

Marta Rouco · Mayor of Vilalba
The Mayor of Vilalba, Marta Rouco, highlighted the importance of bringing these proposals to rural areas, having previously contacted associations to understand the specific needs of each location. For her part, councilor Paula Vigo emphasized the variety of the program and citizen participation, stressing that the activities are adapted to demand and open to all interested individuals.
The City Council encourages residents of the participating parishes to consult the complete program, with the corresponding days, times, and activities for each locality, and to join these proposals that seek to promote coexistence and community life in rural Vilalba.
