Detailed description (English): The Cultural and Sports Association Troncha Cerros presents “Puertollano 360”, an activity included in 2025 European Mobility Week that highlights the importance of ensuring accessible, safe, and inclusive transport for all. Through two circular stages, we will use the metaphor of the hula hoop as a symbol of connection, play, and sustainability.
The route will cross urban, peri-urban, and natural areas of Puertollano, creating a green loop that links streets, squares, paths, and old railways. The aim is to promote the re-naturalisation of the city’s outskirts, the recovery of historic and sustainable routes, and the use of clean mobility alternatives that encourage healthier and more environmentally friendly habits.
This collective action seeks to raise awareness of the need to bring nature closer to everyday mobility, offering citizens an active experience that combines sport, environment, and community values.
Detailed description (original language): Desde su fundación, la Asociación Cultural Deportiva Troncha Cerros ha participado de forma activa en la Semana Europea de la Movilidad, reivindicando la accesibilidad y la movilidad sostenible tanto dentro de Puertollano como en su conexión con la naturaleza y los municipios vecinos.
En esta edición, junto a las asociaciones de vecinos de Las Mercedes, Santa Ana y Cañamares, organizamos una ruta senderista que pretende poner en valor la periferia de Puertollano y la necesidad de garantizar un acceso inclusivo a su entorno natural. Nuestra ciudad, marcada por una orografía singular, nos permitirá observar su tránsito desde las alturas y reflexionar sobre la importancia de recuperar espacios que unan barrios, caminos y paisajes. Para generar expectación y sensibilización, hemos lanzado una campaña simbólica vinculada al hula hoop, un juego infantil que utilizamos como metáfora del anillo verde y natural que debería rodear a nuestra ciudad industrial. Con ello, volvemos a reivindicar espacios para la convivencia saludable, abiertos a todos, ya sea practicando deporte o simplemente caminando en familia.
Target group(s): General public of Puertollano and its surrounding area, with a special focus on families, young people and seniors who want to take part in a healthy, accessible and inclusive activity.
