The 'Curis Infantil de Reis’ is traditionally organised by the Municipal Institute of Esport, or IME for children up to 12 years old and has different starting points for different ages.

The Mayor of Palma, José Hila, joined parents at the event and encouraged the children to do their best.

The Councillor of Sports of the City of Palma, Francisco Ducrós, said the sports event was as important as the Christmas parties that children attend over the festive period and was “even better this year because plastic bottles were eliminated.”
