Castillo del Romeral launches Castillo Vivo, a day with music, sports and coastal conservation

 

The Beaches Department of the San Bartolomé de Tirajana City Council is organizing the first edition of Castillo Vivo (Living Castle) on June 19th and 20th . This initiative aims to promote environmental awareness , citizen participation , and community spirit through sports, cultural, and musical activities along the Castillo del Romeral coastline . The event will take place on the esplanade in front of the Fishermen's Guild and will begin with a coastal cleanup and restoration effort. Its philosophy stems from the need to raise awareness about coastal protection and encourage active citizen involvement in the care of public spaces, combining this effort with initiatives that strengthen community identity and neighborly relations.

 

 

The Councillor for Beaches, Yilenia Vega , explained that “Castillo Vivo was born with a very clear idea: to care for our coastline together. We want citizens to actively participate in the conservation of our beaches and, at the same time, find in this event a space to share, coexist, and enjoy culture and sport in a unique setting like Castillo del Romeral. Environmental protection is more effective when it is accompanied by the involvement of residents, groups, and associations. This project embodies precisely these values ​​and allows us to continue promoting respect for our coastline from a participatory and community-oriented perspective . ”

 

For his part, the First Deputy Mayor, Alejandro Marichal , pointed out that “Castillo Vivo represents a way of understanding public management based on citizen participation and the enhancement of our coastal neighborhoods. It is not just about organizing activities, but about raising awareness, strengthening the social fabric, and promoting initiatives that have continuity over time. This event transforms Castillo del Romeral into a meeting point for residents, families, and visitors, demonstrating that commitment to the environment, sports, and culture can go hand in hand to build a more cohesive community . ”

 

The program will begin on Friday , June 19 at 16:00 p.m. with a large participatory clean-up of the coastline, an activity open to all citizens aimed at the selective collection of waste and the cleaning of the beach and coastal areas.

 

Starting at 20:30 p.m., the musical performances will begin with the participation of Kahuna , Tamaduba , Brian Perdomo , Ignotos and Los Coquillos , in a night dedicated to music made in the Canary Islands.

 

The second day, Saturday, June 20, will begin at 09:00 with a 3x3 basketball tournament and a 3x3 football tournament, two activities aimed at promoting healthy habits, coexistence and the participation of young people and families.

 

During the morning, there will also be a demonstration of Canarian wrestling, an educational event designed to introduce residents and visitors to one of the main symbols of the Canary Islands' sporting and cultural heritage. The activity will include practical demonstrations, explanations of the history and values ​​of this traditional sport, and interaction with the audience.

 

The musical program will return from 20:30 p.m. with performances by Skacháos , Skaldaos , Danty Band , La Guagua Band and Enkassette , putting the finishing touch on two days designed to combine environmental protection, sports activity, popular culture and citizen coexistence.

 

“ Castillo Vivo ” was created with the intention of continuity and aspires to consolidate itself as a leading initiative in environmental awareness and social revitalization in the coastal neighborhoods of the municipality, with a view to extending this participatory model to the entire San Bartolomé coastline.
