The ‘Mayores en Marcha Orihuela Costa’ event, organised in collaboration with the Sports Department, aims to promote health and active ageing among the local community. This year’s edition is scheduled for Wednesday, the nineteenth of November, and will commence at ten o’clock in the morning.

Participants will enjoy a two-kilometre walk along the picturesque Cala Mosca beach, designed to encourage physical activity while embracing the beautiful surroundings. Following the walk, attendees will partake in a communal lunch along with a variety of sports and wellness activities, including yoga, gerontogymnastics, and dance.

Agustina Rodríguez, the Councillor for Social Welfare, emphasised the importance of initiatives that not only promote sports but also reinforce social bonds, self-esteem, and active participation among older adults in the community. She stated that this event highlights that age should never be a barrier to keeping active.

Active ageing continues to be a focus for the municipality, and Orihuela Costa will once again serve as the backdrop for an event centred on its older citizens. Rodríguez concluded by noting the commitment to fostering healthy habits and encouraging active ageing across the community.
