"I read" also in summer: children's workshops and books on the beaches

We love knowing that there are beaches prepared for families with babies (I wish there were many more!) And now we see other interesting initiatives. In this case with the "I read" campaign there are children's workshops on the beaches.

From last July 1 until August 31, the beaches of San Nicolás and Sirena Loca in the municipality of Adra, Almería, have this campaign underway. It is a space that offers families a leisure service so that children, together with baths and sand games, enjoy reading, environmental activities, games and workshops.

In the "Yo Leo" points there are monitors that from 11 am to 2 pm and from 5 pm to 8 pm, entertain, teach and environmentally aware children through fun games, cut-outs, crafts, reading animation…

Where will we find them? The two reading zones that have been installed in the beaches of San Nicolás and Sirena Loca, in the municipality of Adra, province of Almería. The leisure day is also for parents, who can participate with their children in activities, read the daily press, books ...

The "I read" spaces with books and children's workshops on the beaches They are a complement to the beach leisure days, free and designed for children and families. Surely, in addition to discovering the love for books, more than a little boy makes friends in this place and then continue enjoying the sea and the sand ...
