The Colmenar Viejo City Council has unveiled the schedule for Seniors' Week, taking place from September 25 to October 1 to promote community engagement and well-being.

The initiative, promoted by the Department for Seniors, includes a diverse range of cultural, sports, and educational proposals. Highlights include workshops on pilates, tai chi, English, crafts, and sessions on using mobile devices, as well as talks on preventing cybercrime.
Municipal venues hosting these events include the Retama Pensioners' Home, the Paraguay Seniors' Center, and the Youth House. As a new feature, excursions to the Vistas Reales estate have been scheduled to enjoy exhibitions in a natural setting.
The week will conclude on October 1 at the Villa de Colmenar Viejo Auditorium with the IV Essential Seniors Gala. The event will recognize the solidarity work of residents and present the book Sabores de Colmenar, the result of intergenerational collaboration between youth and seniors.
The gala will end with a lyrical concert featuring the Autonomous University of Madrid Orchestra and Choir, the Antonio Soler Camerata, and the Iter Choir. Free tickets can be requested at the Paraguay Seniors' Center.
