Madrid will take residents over 65 from small towns to discover palaces and historic cities
In 2027, residents over 65 from Madrid municipalities with fewer than 5,000 inhabitants will be able to visit the Palacio Real de Aranjuez, the walls of Buitrago, and other places of interest in the region with a guide.
In the first half of 2027, the Comunidad de Madrid plans to launch a programme of cultural excursions for residents over 65 years old from municipalities with fewer than 5,000 inhabitants. The excursions will include bus transport, an accompanying guide, and visits to museums, monuments, and other places of cultural interest.
Twelve one-day itineraries are being prepared. Destinations include Alcalá de Henares, Aranjuez y San Lorenzo de El Escorial. The excursions will also offer the chance to discover the towns in the Villas de Madrid programme and the Sierra Oeste. Participants will be able to explore palaces, historic centres, and museum collections without having to organise the trip or arrange transport themselves.
The excursions are expected to take place from Monday to Friday. The bus will pick up and drop off participants, while the guide will coordinate the day and the scheduled visits. The Comunidad de Madrid and the Federación de Municipios de Madrid are developing the programme.
The exact dates, number of places, and registration procedure have not yet been published. Local councils will inform residents about the itineraries and participation conditions.
