Over 150 seniors will experience the Marbella Christmas thanks to the 'Taxi Luz' initiative

On December 17th, over 150 seniors will tour the Christmas lights of Marbella in the eighth edition of the 'Paseo de la Ilusión ... Taxi Luz', an initiative driven by the City Council and the Taxi Solidario association in collaboration with Marbella Voluntaria, Aguja Solidaria, Red Cross, and Gamonal restaurant. The councilor for Festivities, Yolanda Marín, and the councilor for Social Rights, Isabel Cintado, presented this event, which will involve around fifty cars, and expressed their gratitude for the collaboration of the involved entities and individuals who "help this activity grow in scope and attendance each year." "The goal is to bring happiness and companionship to this group, especially during a time when many do not have their families close by," they pointed out.

Marín explained that the taxi drivers will pick up the seniors from various residences in the municipality, who will enjoy a special snack from 6:30 PM provided by Gamonal restaurant and accompanied by Christmas carols. Afterwards, the attendees will tour the main streets of Marbella and San Pedro Alcántara to admire the festive lights.

For her part, Cintado reiterated the importance of initiatives that "promote inclusion and active participation of the elderly" and acknowledged the work of volunteers and associations, which "reflect the values of generosity and community that characterize Marbella." For Taxi Solidario, it is "one of the city's most endearing traditions." "This activity aims to convey affection, companionship, and recognition to the elderly, promoting their role in the social life of Marbella," added the president of the group, David Piqué.
