“"The 'Poble' Prizes are a way to publicly recognize people, entities, and businesses that, from different areas, are part of Rafelbunyol's history and present. They are trajectories that speak of our town, its capacity to undertake, to play sports, to create culture, and, above all, to care for each other and build community."
The award ceremony is part of the October 9th program and will bring together the awardees, as well as representatives from the municipality's associative, business, sports, and cultural sectors. With this third edition, the City Council continues to establish the Rafelbunyol 'Poble' Prizes as an annual event aimed at valuing the talent, effort, and commitment of the individuals and groups contributing to the municipality's development.
