Alicante Livens Up Edusi Neighbourhoods with Summer Programmes 'A la Fresca', 'Healthy Mornings' and 'Open-Air Reading'

New life in a historic building

The City of Alicante, with the support of the Department of Strategic Planning and European Projects, has activated this summer a series of free programmes at La Fábrica , located between the two castles, as part of the Edusi Alicante initiative.

La Fábrica is a former tobacco factory located in an 18th century building (Casa de la Misericordia), classified as a cultural asset. It is now being transformed into a social and cultural centre where:

  • "A la fresca" - evening meetings of residents and associations
  • "Healthy Mornings" - Exercises on Fridays
  • "Reading Point" - access to books in a cool cloister

👥 The “A la fresca” program: conversations and communication in the open air

Every Thursday from 6pm to 8pm, informal meetings with residents of the surrounding areas take place in the courtyard of La Fábrica. The initiative has already gathered around 30 participants, including representatives of the Enhebrando la hebra association, which brings together lovers of knitting and socializing.

The event is open to everyone , but pre-registration is required due to limited space. Registration is available at the Edusi office at Cuesta de la Fábrica, s/n , or by phone at 965 31 36 09 .

📖 Reading Point - Peace and Books in the Cool

There is also a free reading point in the courtyard, open:

  • Mon–Fri: from 9:00 to 14:00
  • Tue and Wed: additionally from 16:00 to 18:00

Visitors can read classics, children's stories or bring their own books and enjoy the silence and architecture of the historic space.

Healthy Mornings: Summer Exercises for Everyone

Every Friday in July from 9:30 to 11:00 there were physical activity classes , open to all ages. The training took place under the guidance of an instructor in the cloister. The program was so successful that it may be extended into August.

Areas covered by Edusi

The programme covers the Edusi area , the areas between the two castles of Alicante:

  • San Anton
  • Central Market (incl. Franciscanos-Oliveretes)
  • Carolina Bajas
  • Slope of Monte Tossal
  • Campoamor
  • Parts of Altozano and Pla Carolinas

Summer initiatives at La Fábrica make the hot months more lively and social . The Edusi project helps residents diversify their leisure time, improve their health and make new friends in a unique architectural environment. Alicante is becoming comfortable not only to live in, but also to grow – together with the city.
