Highlights of the official opening of Espacio Amigos
Hello everyone!
Thank you for being part of this very special event. I want to share with you the highlights of the official opening of Espacio Amigos at Cumbre del Sol, held on September 18th. Without your participation, this event would not have been possible, and I sincerely thank you for your enthusiasm and support.
The event was attended by the Mayor, Miguel Ángel García, and the Councilor for Social Services and Health, Isabel Garrido, who joined us on this important day. We were also visited by Chris Akin, headmaster of Lady Elizabeth School, who spoke to us about the diversity of nationalities at the school and extended an invitation to learn more about its facilities. Afterwards, we met two students and the Duke of Edinburgh Award program coordinators who presented the "Residents in Action" initiative, aimed at fostering the exchange of experiences between the school's young people and the senior residents of Cumbre del Sol and Benitatxell.
On the other hand, Margaret Hales, representing patients on the Primary Healthcare Council Teulada-Moraira and Benitachell, emphasized the importance of preventing health problems, encouraging us to plan with and answer invitations by the Health Center and stay active through exercise and sports.
I am happy to announce that, from now on, we will be able to enjoy walks around the village every Wednesday morning accompanied by nurses from the Health Center, and that walks will soon also be organized at the Cumbre del Sol.
Prevention is better than cure!
Additionally, Nurse Sandra Franciska Burg, the manager, explained how her home care organization works at the Cumbre del Sol, what to do in case of an emergency, and how to access these services. Sandra, who speaks English, German, and Spanish, has been actively involved with the Cumbre del Sol and its surrounding areas for four years and answered many of your questions.
After a short break, the mayor congratulated us again before he left, and we continued with a short therapeutic chair yoga workshop, where we practiced breathing exercises and joint movements.
It was an enriching morning in which we were able to share, learn, and enjoy together.

- October 16, Week of the senior citizens in cooperation with Benitachell Los gatos felices and CumbreCats
- November 20: Music, movement and joy.
