He Social Tourism Program of the Institute for the Elderly and Social Services (Imserso) is already underway for retirees and pensioners who want to visit emblematic places in Spain at a very reduced price. But this is not the only option they have to travel while saving money from their retirement pensions, since El Corte Inglés has presented new destinations in its Youth +60 program.
One of them, from 570 euros, has 6 days and 5 nights, and will take travelers to Islantilla, in Huelva, where they can enjoy a magical environment, and even get to know the Portuguese Algarve.
El Corte Inglés challenges Imserso with a route that links a desert, witches’ caves and a medieval palace: 6 days for less than 580 euros
The Imserso letter that will reach thousands of retirees and pensioners before summer
Although the most valued thing by those looking to disconnect after a life of intense work is tranquility. In this case, Viajes El Corte Inglés presents a unique trip, in which retirees will be able to rest in a four-star aparthotel, the Ilunion Islantilla or a similar one in case there is any change.
The promotion is for people over 60 years of age and is presented as a perfect alternative to the programs subsidized by Imserso, which have more places each year. And El Corte Inglés is not the only one that competes directly with Imserso’s low prices and you can also find interesting proposals in other chains such as Carrefour.
Choosing the date well is key to paying less
Retirees who want to book this trip to Islantilla should be careful with the date they select. For example, if they choose April 19 they will pay from 605 euros, the same as May 24. And if you want to travel on June 7, the cost is from 570 euros, the same as October 18. On September 20, on the contrary, the price rises to 605 euros again
Accommodation is in a double room and places are limited. This price includes 5 nights of stay in a 4-star hotel on a full board basis with water or wine, and management fees.
The price includes a local guide, 13 food services (5 breakfasts, 3 lunches and 5 dinners), tickets to the Sé Cathedral in Faro, the La Rábida Monastery and the Carabelas Dock. Also entry to a ham drying room with tasting, travel insurance and headphones.
Planning for 6 days of travel
El Corte Inglés presents a travel calendar that begins on the first day with arrival at the hotel, which is at the client’s expense. Then, a greeting to Faro, in Portugal, is scheduled, but first there is a stop in the Algarve. In the afternoon we will visit Vila Real de San Antonio, a fishing village on the banks of the Guadiana.
The next day, those over 60 are scheduled to visit the Doñana Natural Park, where the Acebron Palace is located, and later they will be able to see first-hand the famous Aldea del Rocío. Once they finish learning the history of this enclave, they will pass through the port, Cabezos de la Esperanza and Conquero, the Campus del Carmen, Barrio Inglés or Casa Colón.
The remaining two days will be to continue visiting Islantilla and its surroundings, with seniors being able to enjoy a boat ride although it is not included in the price. Those who do not want to board have the opportunity to delve deeper into the history of Spain by visiting the replica of Columbus’s well-known caravels.
