Mallorca’s Council launches new sports proposals for people older than 65 years old or retirees: fifteen active group outings that belong to the block «Viu en comunitat!», that the institution puts into action the month of November. This way, inscriptions are opened, in groups or individuals, that will get to 1.5000 people and include nautical activities, such as water bikes or dragon boats, or hiking outings in natural landscapes, with a walk in the public estate of Son Real, with a visit to the necropolis included.
This new package of «Viu en comunitat!» includes activities organized by Mallorca’s Council to make iconic and singular spaces in groups, that the institution puts into reach of the town halls, old-age associations and other entities, and also open to civilization in general.
The meetings, with the sportive spirit, have the purpose of boosting a healthy aging and boosting the socialization of the elderly, and put the focus on nature as the background.
The second vicepresident and councillor of Environment, Rural Areas and Sports, Pedro Bestard, has pointed out that “the Council focuses firmly on health and active life promotion amongst the elderly from a sportive field, since there’s a current age curve and, this collective, arrives in good shape to the age of retirement. That’s why we invest 950.000 euros every year”. In addition, Bestard has added that “the health boosting between the elderly is basic if we take into account that 2030, in a short amount of time, 30% of the civilization will be over 65 years old”.
