Pensioners invited to discover Mijas river walk

MIJAS tourism councillor Santiago Martin has invited local pensioners to sign up for walks the council is organising along the new riverside path by Rio Gomenaro.

“They’ll be able to see all the work we’ve done by the river to improve the area so Mijas residents and visitors can enjoy a nice walk in the countryside by the river,” Martin explained.

There is no limit on the number of people who can sign up for the free walks, the first of which are planned for April 22, 23, 24, 29 and 30.

All the pensioners need to do is sign up at the Las Lagunas Hogar del Jubilado and be at the entrance to the aquapark by 9am on the day of the walk to catch the bus.

The trips will start with breakfast at a local establishment, followed by a walk along the path ending at the Hermanos Ayala Tamayo oil press, where the pensioners will be able to see how the oil is pressed and receive a bottle as a memento of the day.
