The active ageing workshops in Vélez-Málaga are now accepting registrations for 2027. The deadline to sign up ends on December 30 and the activities will begin on January 12, 2027, according to what the Ayuntamiento de Vélez-Málaga has announced. The municipal programme serves an average of 1,500 older people each month and offers cultural, educational and cognitive stimulation activities spread across different centres of the municipality. That is, it is not concentrated in a single point of the locality, but reaches several areas of the municipal district.

Where the application is submitted

Applications can be submitted in two ways: in person at the municipal centres of Capuchinos and Torre del Mar, or through the forms enabled on the Internet. The deadline is open until December 30 and classes start on January 12, 2027. The councillor for Older People, Juan Fernández Olmo, is the one presenting this new call of the programme. To put the figure in context: Vélez-Málaga is the fourth most populated municipality in the province of Málaga, with 86,048 inhabitants according to the INE in 2025, and more than half of its population is concentrated in the urban centre, while the rest is distributed among smaller centres, coastal developments and inland farmhouses. Hence the programme is deployed in different centres.
