Last month, the Cabildo announced a new project that will run regular hiking trails for young people and families until February 2023.
The new project “Conoce tu isla”, organised by the Cabildo, is “to value the environmental, historical and cultural heritage of Lanzarote in an active way through educational itineraries”, explained the Cabildo Youth Minister, Myriam Barros. “The hiking trails will be complemented with other activities, trying to offer young people an alternative and health leisure”, she added.
The activities aimed at young people on Lanzarote will take place in the afternoons or at night. Additionally, the activities will include practical learning workshops on photography, history, dance, skateboarding, astrophysics and more.
