For two years the Elderly have been unable to go on the traditional trip that the Senior Citizens' Department has been organising for decades but yesterday, municipal officials announced the long-awaited news. And the question that has been repeated the most this year with the gradual return to normality is: Will there be a trip this year? "I think that one of the questions that our elders ask the most during the activities or during the retirement home visits, both to the Mayor and me, is if there will be a trip as the answer to all of them is: of course. In 2022, we can make this long-awaited trip for the elderly," says Tamara Vera (PSOE), Councillor for the Elderly of Mijas Town Hall.
If everything goes according to plan, she says, the seniors will once again, be able to enjoy "walks, hotels, shows, visits, excursions, and friends". "The senior citizens' trip in 2022, on behalf of the Town Hall, will be to Almeria, the seniors have been asking about the trip dates. We have seen it appropriate to make a change in this regard since we are now coming out of the pandemic and we are gradually recovering all our activities, so we have seen it appropriate to make a change in the dates," adds Vera.
The Council is currently working on the safety of the trip, as the group is made up of some 1,500 people. "A trip that this year will take us to the Almeria coast. We will enjoy nature, its natural beaches, and the urban area that the province of Almeria offers us. We will visit the Cabo de Gata Natural Park, the Santa Ana Castle, and we will also enjoy the Almeria coast's climate," said the Mijas Mayor, Josele González (PSOE).
A long-awaited trip that reaches one of the groups that has been hardest hit by the pandemic. "I believe that the Mijas elderly deserve everything, and for the Town Hall it is an absolute challenge every year, to organise this trip, where it is expected that around 1,500 elderly people will sign up, with a symbolic price of no more than six euros", adds the Mayor of Mijas, Josele González (PSOE).
The Senior Citizen's Area will soon announce both the trip date and the registration deadlines.
