What Txiki-Botxo is
In 2026 Txikigune becomes Txiki-Botxo, a symbolic little city with over 30 activities across six themed zones. It spreads across Doña Casilda Park, La Pérgola and the Duck Pond.
Families can pick up a play card, join the city's activities and use a symbolic currency called «Eliodoros». The programme includes radio, reading, play, creativity, movement, Marijaia Txiki and Gargantua.
