The Municipal Sports Institute – IMD according to its Spanish initials – is the city council independent organism in charge of the local sports and physical exercise promotion. Sport is a healthy leisure activity generating good habits, a way to measure a person’s quality of life. In order to achieve those aims the IMD and its different participating agencies develop a programme that includes: the local sports schools (both for children and adults), the municipal sports games (for children and adults), the nature and environment plan, the summer programme, the training programme, the decentralization plan, the promotional events and high competition programme, the sports programme for social integration and finally the collaboration plan between administrations and sports agents. The IMD also manages the vast network of local sports facilities.
