Since the project began, 329 students and 29 teachers of the Regional Center for Early Childhood and Primary Education "Azorín" have moved to the town of La Magdalena, with the aim of "preserving the cultural heritage" of the towns of the Shire.

The students visit the old Cartagena bowling track, next to the social premises of La Magdalena.

The day begins with the welcome of the participants to the population that gives name to the deputation of the West zone.

Divided into groups, they alternate in an activity of plastic expression with clay, by the Cartagena artist Juan Pedro Esteban and another workshop by the "maestro" of the Cartagenero bowling Diego Segovia, where this game is explained and practiced.

At noon and after lunch, there is a guided tour of the town and surroundings.

The "restored" cistern of the square is shown and the value of the water and the rules are discussed so as not to waste this resource.

We also visit the Chapel of the eighteenth century, where they are introduced to historical aspects of the West with some legend and incursions of pirates to their fields;

they caress a centennial olive tree, where they play and learn the importance of the natural heritage;

and they walk along the Rambla de Benipila, where environmental values ​​and biodiversity are explained.

The tour ends with a visit to an agricultural farm in the town (Hermanos Solano and "Los Chirres"), where children and teachers make first-hand contact with the world of livestock and life in the countryside.

The Organization, continues to work to obtain the necessary resources to complete this novel project, with the development and installation of a statue called "The Manillas", as a tribute to this traditional cartagenero, which would be the first in the municipality.
