Eligibility and how to apply
The Christmas holiday school is intended for children attending the second cycle of Spanish infant education, Educación Infantil, or primary education, Educación Primaria.
To access the service, parents or guardians must be working or taking part in training programmes aimed at employment.
The admission rules also take account of specific circumstances affecting families with dependent people in their care, and give priority to vulnerable groups.

In-person applications will be handled by the town hall’s Registry by prior appointment; online applications can be submitted through the municipal electronic office using the procedure labelled «Actividades».
The full rules, admission procedure and list of required supporting documents are available on the municipal noticeboard.
