The Marbella City Council has opened the registration period for the 'Participation + Experience' program, a proposal aimed at people over 30 years old, offering more than 700 places in a total of 20 leisure, culture, and social activities. Councilor Enrique Rodríguez explained that the initiative "arises to respond to a historic demand from residents, especially from that middle age group that lacked a specific range of leisure activities." The councilor emphasized that "we are not only talking about excursions or workshops, but also about spaces to share, meet new people, and break the routine," while highlighting that it also helps to combat unwanted loneliness, "a reality that can affect people of any age at certain times in their lives."

The initiative includes activities from 14 different themes, including escape rooms, pottery workshops, night tours like 'Mysterious Marbella', wine tastings, cultural excursions, nature outings, or catamaran rides to enjoy the sunset. Additionally, pastry and cocktail workshops will be offered, as well as visits to places such as the Automobile Museum, the Treasure Cave in Rincón de la Victoria, Victoria Beer Factory, or the Benalmádena Butterfly Park. Moreover, 220 cinema vouchers will be distributed, allowing participants to attend sessions at Kinépolis La Cañada. "It is a very varied and completely free offer, designed so that as many residents as possible can benefit," the councilor added.

Registrations will be made through the municipal website of the department, where detailed information about the activities, dates, and requirements can also be consulted. Each workshop will open its registration period approximately one week before its celebration, and 20 percent of the places will be reserved preferentially for people linked to neighborhood groups and associations that collaborate with the council. The initiative will take place in May and June and aims to promote social participation, well-being, and relationships among neighbors.

The program kicks off this week with a first block of free activities: an escape room, a ceramics workshop, and a night tour through mysterious Marbella

The program starts this week with a first block of free activities. The first will be an escape room in Marbella, scheduled for May 8, aimed at groups of four people, with a total of six groups available and lasting approximately two hours. On May 9, a pottery workshop will take place in San Pedro Alcántara, with 10 places, where participants can enjoy a creative and practical experience.

The programming will continue on May 10 with the night tour 'Mysterious Marbella,' an activity for 20 people that will allow discovering legends, hidden stories, and unique corners of the city. Registrations for these first activities open today, Monday, and will remain available until 48 hours before each activity, subject to availability of places. Additionally, tomorrow, Tuesday, May 5, registration for the first 110 free cinema tickets will open, which will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis until full. Once the registration is confirmed, beneficiaries can collect their voucher from the Citizen Participation department.
