THOSE near the Costa Calida hub of Mazarron looking for a social activity that will also keep them fit are in luck: the Department of Equality of the Mazarron Town Council is organising a variety of free activities to keep residents moving in the months leading up to summer, all taking place in rural areas of the municipality and completely free of charge.
Mazarron comes alive with active participation through February until May
The “Gimnasia en pedanías,” or “District Gymnastics,” activities, which kicked off at the beginning of February, include various different types of exercise to attract a wider audience of all fitness levels. In the programme, residents can participate in maintenance gymnastics classes, pilates classes, and zumba dance classes, taking place in the villages of Leiva and Pastrana.
Benefits of participating
Along with physical health, the initiative also aims to strengthen community in some of Mazarron’s smaller districts, and offer residents a chance to socialise and connect with their neighbours. Residents of all ages and skill levels are welcome to join in on the fun, and the accessibility of the classes for the small towns means residents, particularly older ones, will not need to travel to a larger town to participate. The classes are designed to be accessible, inclusive, and fun with high-energy instructors and a level of movement that offers challenge while keeping spirits high.
