    It is fantastic that Denia wants to do more for children, more playgrounds, etc. But we must not forget that these children also grow up and become adolescents. And the offer for teenagers in Denia is shameful. What can young adults do in Denia except walk up and down the Marques de Campo and participate in the Youth workshops on some Saturdays? There is no central meeting place where young people can talk/meet any day/time without being "watched" by an adult. It should be possible to open a youth café, a bowling alley or something similar, with affordable prices… It's a shame that children from 13 to 18 years old are left on the street.
