• Cities are rolling out car-free measures and trials, including restricted access in central Castellón at set times and a coastal ciclovía in Alicante, while local services such as Sagunt’s urban bus and Eibar’s Udalbus will be free.
• Municipal programs featured second‑hand bike markets, repair workshops and children’s traffic‑education circuits to encourage active travel, with Eibar linking its events to the 2022–2030 PACES climate plan.
• In Gijón, roughly 700 people joined the ‘Gijón Respira’ accessible march advocating mobility for all, with participation from local sports figures and support from civic organizations.
• Opposition parties and neighborhood groups argued that one‑off events fall short, urging long‑term investment in bike lanes and safe school routes, with EAJ‑PNV highlighting limited progress on the bidegorri network.
