“The children of Barbadás demonstrate with floats that the sidewalks are not prepared for social distance”
telecinco.es 31
In Ourense, Galicia, the smallest of Barbadás have taken to the streets of the town in a nice experiment. Boys and girls have tried to walk the sidewalks, which are not prepared to keep the minimum social distance required in the face of covid. They have done it with floats under their arms, but this time without going to the beach.
Sandra González, promoter of the activity: “They are not prepared for the distance, nor for a person who goes with a cart, nor for an elderly man who goes with a cane”

“Do you know that Barbadás sets an example for the city in terms of mobility?”
La Región 31
-While the “A vila do mañá” initiative, which attempts to rethink the urban areas in which we live, is a complete success in Barbadás, the city turns a deaf ear? -That is not because they have not been raised, but it is the same government that has the Mobility Plan in a drawer? -that no one remembers City 30 anymore?
“Great floats to become aware of the space that is missing for people in the streets”

A curious initiative. Have you ever thought what it would be like to walk down the street with a float a meter and a half in diameter?
This is what some 40 cativos from the Ourensán council of Barbadás tried this morning. Sheathed in large floats, they traversed several streets of the town and verified that they are the obstacles that we encountered and that finally forced us to invade the road.
This is an initiative, Á vila do mañá, designed by an architect, so that the little ones are aware of how public areas do not want to be designed for people and or the space they need.

The streets of the Ourense town of Barbadás are filled these days with children clad in huge floats. But they are not going to the pool, but rather they intend to show how unprepared our cities are to maintain social distance.
