On the day without my car, there will be several road closures, such as those that will affect Iparagirre Street in both directions and Elexalde Street, both in the center of town.

Three activities will be carried out.

The first will be the so-called family sport, a program to do sports in the street together.

The second will be a circuit so that boys and girls can ride tandem minibikes and so on.

The third will be an interactive exhibition made using pieces of bicycles and scooters.
