The picturesque town of Polop de la Marina is set to host the 13th Senior Citizens' Gathering on Sunday, September 7. This event, sponsored by the Provincial Council of Alicante, is a testament to the town's commitment to honouring its elderly residents.

The day's schedule is packed with activities, starting with a departure from the Multi-Purpose Building towards the Parish Church at 11:30. This procession will be accompanied by local authorities, the Polop Musical Union, and the Polop Town Hall, in collaboration with the Polop Retirees and Pensioners Association 'La Pilarica'.

At noon, a special Senior Citizens' Mass is planned. Following this, a courtesy visit to the Les Fonts Senior Residence is scheduled for 13:00.

Julia Bautista, Councillor for Social Welfare, described the event as "a day of celebration and tribute to our seniors." Polop de la Marina Mayor, José Luis Susmozas, emphasised that the Senior Citizens' Gathering symbolises gratitude and respect for those who have built the present. The event aims to promote harmony, social interaction, and recognition of the elderly, highlighting their role as a fundamental pillar of the community.

A fellowship lunch at Restaurante Molí de Xirles is open to all Association members at 14:00. Registration for this event is essential, and members are required to register in advance by September 5 to secure their place.

It's worth noting that the event does not include any advertisements, making it a pure celebration for the elderly.
