“Both the company and the town hall have made great efforts to enable the over 65’s registered in Mojacar to use free local public transport. It is a socially orientated measure to help somehow alleviate the current economic circumstances,”said Rosa
All people over 65 registered in Mojacar who have not yet obtained a  free  travel card can apply at the town hall.
