European Car Free Day

Within the framework of the International Car Free Day, and with the slogan "In town, without my car!", next Sunday, September 22, 1.309 European municipalities will participate in the celebration of the European Car Free Day with a view to giving the public the opportunity to practice other forms of mobility alternative to the private car and to offer them the possibility of rediscovering the city, its inhabitants and its heritage. The cities from the Balearic Islands that will participate this year in the campaign are Palma, Maó and Eivissa.

The Balearic ecologist groups have also organised activities around this date. Worth mentioning is the "IV Massa Crítica per Palma", a critical mass ride day organised by the GOB-Mallorca to call attention to cities designed only for cars, that will be held on Thursday, September 19.

More over, 321 European cities will participate from September 16 to 22 in the first edition of the European Mobility week promoted by the European Union.
