The Mijas Town Hall has resumed this year the traditional Christmas lunch in which retirees and pensioners of the town gather to enjoy a day of coexistence at this time of the year. The event was held at the Torremolinos Congress Centre, where, on Friday 20th, more than 1,450 neighbours travelled by buses provided by the Town Hall.

“We have been able to ensure that all the elderly of Mijas, regardless of the district they belong to, can have a Christmas lunch together. This year, so that everyone can come together and have a good time, we have made sure that it is a lunch for 1,450 senior citizens. This way, they can enjoy with their friends and neighbours and I think that the Mijas Town Hall makes a great effort organising this kind of lunch for so many people”, said the mayoress of Mijas, Ana Mata (PP). 

The Senior Citizens department praised the work of all the people involved in organising an event of this nature. “Today, we have been able to bring together almost 1,500 people to offer them this tribute meal. The truth is that it is a satisfaction to see how they all come with so much joy and the desire to have a good time”, said the councillor for the Elderly, Silvia Marín (PP), who pointed out that “the three districts had not come together to share this Christmas lunch since 2019”. The Senior Citizens Department set up a programme which, in addition to the transportation by bus, included a health team and an ambulance, and the presence of volunteers from Mijas Civil Protection. “We would like to thank the work of the volunteers from Mijas Civil Protection, who are always there to support all the departments, especially the Senior Citizens Department, as they are today”, said the mayoress. A large representation of councillors from the municipal corporation also shared with them this Christmas lunch.
