Embracing Sustainability: Llar Trad Fest Partners with Guppy

At Llar Trad Fest, we believe in using our cultural platform to drive social change and promote environmental sustainability. This year, we are excited to announce our partnership with Guppy, a pioneering sustainable mobility service, to ensure our festival is not only a celebration of tradition but also a model of eco-friendly practice.

Why We Chose Guppy

Guppy launched in August 2019 as the first shared and sustainable mobility service in Asturias. Their commitment to improving urban mobility and air quality through 100% electric vehicles aligns perfectly with our values at Llar Trad Fest. Since their inception, Guppy has expanded to other cities, provinces, and even airports, proving their dedication to making a substantial environmental impact.

Promoting Sustainable Travel

Guppy's mission to promote a change in citizens' habits by reducing CO2 emissions is something we wholeheartedly support. By using Guppy's services, we aim to reduce our festival’s carbon footprint and promote sustainable travel among our attendees. To facilitate this, we encourage everyone traveling from Bilbao, Cantabria, and other cities in Asturias to use Guppy’s 100% electric vehicles.

How to Get Started with Guppy

Renting a vehicle from Guppy is simple. Just download the Guppy app and register as a user—it takes less than five minutes. This small step can make a big difference in reducing the environmental impact of our travels.

Sustainable Connectivity

Initially connecting only Oviedo, Gijón, and Avilés, Guppy has expanded its services to include Cantabria, Madrid, Bilbao, and San Sebastián. This expansion allows for interprovincial rentals, making it easier than ever to travel sustainably throughout Spain. Additionally, Guppy services are available at key airports, including Asturias, Santander, Bilbao, and Madrid (both T1 and T4).

Join Us in Making a Difference

Our partnership with Guppy reflects our broader commitment to sustainability and social impact. By choosing eco-friendly transportation options, we can collectively reduce our carbon footprint and set an example for future festivals. Together, we can ensure that Llar Trad Fest is not only a celebration of our rich cultural heritage but also a step towards a more sustainable future.

A Commitment to the Environment

In nearly five years, Guppy has made significant strides in environmental sustainability. With over 40,000 users, their fleet of 100% electric vehicles has avoided more than 700,000 kg of CO2 emissions. Their vehicles are charged using renewable energy, with their logistics hub in Asturias featuring a self-consumption photovoltaic plant. The energy purchased for other hubs is guaranteed to be of renewable origin, further cementing their commitment to a greener future.

Encouraging Community Participation

We also encourage those traveling from Asturias with their own cars to offer rides to fellow festival-goers. Sharing rides not only reduces the number of vehicles on the road but also fosters a sense of community. Please share any available space in your cars in our transport section on the WhatsApp community.
