Who we are
Joan Miró CEM, managed since 2000 by the “Associació Esportiva Central”, is a sports centre included in the network of public sports facilities of the city of Barcelona.
Its vocation, due to its public origin as a CEM, is to offer the best possible conditions for citizens to access into a healthy and quality sports practice, the non-profit nature and the social dimension of the “Associació Esportiva Central” which is private independent from any other company or entity, thus, they guarantee this.
The social purpose of the CEM is the promotion of physical activity for people of any age, sex, economic or functional capacity and the reinvestment of its surpluses in the improvement of service and facilities.
The basic aims are:
