The Nerja local council has drawn up an agreement between the Town Hall (Ayuntamiento) and local businesses to offer discounts for the benefit of senior citizens living in Nerja with a pensioner’s card (Carné del Mayor).
The aim of the initiative as explained by local councillor Inocencia Quintero is to give older people an economic advantage so that they may get involved in the various events and activities organised in the town in areas such as education, culture, sports, and parties! All businesses in Nerja are invited to join the scheme as long as they agree to offer at least 5% discount for a minimum period of 2 years. A meeting has been held with business associations in Nerja who are enthusiastic and willing to encourage all their members to participate in this project.
As soon as it is known which local businesses will join the scheme, a guidebook will be made available to all pension card holder’s listing the various establishments and the discount they offer.
Good news if you happen to be of a certain age!
