In Juneda, bookings for holiday camps fall by more than half and put the jobs of 18 workers at risk

The summer camps in Lleida face an unprecedented economic crisis due to the uncertainty generated by the labor conflict between the Government and the workers. This situation has caused multiple educational centers to cancel their trips, which threatens to cause massive layoffs in a sector that depends almost exclusively on the summer period. Jaume Graus, director of La Manreana in **Juneda**, confirms that reservations have fallen by more than half compared to previous years. Since 70% of annual revenue is concentrated between March and June, this decrease puts the viability of the **18 workers** currently on payroll at risk. The pressure is even greater for those who have been in the business for decades. Inda Dalmau, head of Casa Gort in **La Pobla de Cérvoles**, states that she is considering closing after almost 50 years of activity due to the impossibility of covering fixed expenses without income. María Jesús Novau, from Santa Maria de Meià, warns that four schools have already suspended educational leisure for 2027. This trend will force the dismissal of fixed-term monitors if the situation is not resolved, although she understands the teachers' demands, feeling used as a bargaining chip. Meanwhile, summer tourism begins to arrive in the Lleida Pyrenees for the May Day bridge. Showers were recorded in **Alta Ribagorza** and **Val d'Aran**, although the weather remained relatively stable in other areas with forecasts of precipitation for today and tomorrow. In Tàrrega, the Urgell Regional Council launched a new cycle of guided tours as part of the Year of Cultural Tourism in Catalonia. About fifty people participated in the route that went from Plaça del Carme to the Palace of the Marquises of La Floresta.

The activity culminated with a tasting of traditional bread, closing a day that contrasts with the serious financial situation that many rural business owners are going through due to the lack of firm school commitments.
