Every 1st of October, we celebrate the International Day of Older Persons. This day is dedicated to recognising the contributions of our elders to society and highlighting their well-being. At Haro Rent a Car Estepona, we join in this celebration by providing mobility solutions tailored to their needs. We know that age is not a limit to enjoying the freedom of travel.
The importance of staying active and connected
Travel is one of the most enriching experiences at any age. For older people, it can hold even more special value. It not only allows them to discover new places or visit family and friends, but it also helps them stay active, independent, and socially connected. According to the World Health Organization, mobility is key to quality of life in older age. Travel can be a source of well-being, increasing autonomy and reducing isolation.
Discovering Andalusia: An ideal destination for older people
Andalusia is a region rich in history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes. All of this makes it a perfect destination for older individuals. With its picturesque cities like Granada, Seville, or Cordoba, and its rich gastronomy and traditions, there is so much to explore.
For nature lovers, routes through the Alpujarra, the Sierra de Grazalema, or the Costa del Sol are wonderful options. However, having comfortable and accessible transport is essential to fully enjoy these experiences. That’s where we come in.
