Elderly Day Care Service of Cehegín have claimed the important role they play in today's society, which seem to go unnoticed, but bring many social and family benefits, among others.
The Alpargatero Square has hosted an information booth in which these elders have distributed letters written by them, in emphasizing that "old age is not a disease, not a 'vale of tears' where we spent the time before death ".
According to the director of this center during the day, Juan José Gómez, "We have done this activity to mark the International Day of Older Persons," adding that "it was a good way to get them out into the streets, claiming their presence in society and to eliminate negative myths that he blamed on old age.
