Catherine McGeer IN a bid to promote senior sports and cultivate healthy habits among the residents of Colmenar, an educational hiking day was organised recently. The event witnessed enthusiastic participation from the sports programme for seniors. With the generous collaboration of the town council of Colmenar, Diputación de Malaga, CEDEFO (Centre for Sports Development and Training), and the Provincial Park of the Fire Services, this event was a resounding success.
The day began with a hearty breakfast to fuel the participants for the day ahead. The group, accompanied by their instructors and dedicated volunteers, embarked on a hiking expedition through the picturesque trails of Colmenar.
The highlight of the event was the visit to the local fire station and CEDEFO. They had the unique opportunity to interact with the firefighters and learn about their profession by witnessing demonstrations, including firefighting techniques and equipment used during emergencies.
