ARCHIVED - Budget Imserso trips for pensioners: what they cost and how to book
Low-cost holidays for seniors in Spain go on sale this week
Barring any last-minute hitches, the low-cost Imserso holidays offered to pensioners through The Social Tourism Programme will be open for reservation this week. The initiative offers cheap vacations to some 800,000 pensioners during the off-peak season from October to June, and the trips are open to resident pensioners of any nationality, as well as their spouses, partners and children with disabilities.
Bookings for Asturias, Aragon, Catalonia, Galicia, Castilla la Mancha, Castilla y Leon, Ceuta, the Balearic and Canary Islands, La Rioja, Navarra and the Basque Country will open on December 14 and 15, while reservations in Andalucía, Extremadura, Madrid, the Valencian Community, Cantabria, the Region of Murcia and Melilla have been delayed until December 16 and 17.
How much do Imserso trips cost?
The overall price varies according to the dates, type of trip, the duration of the holiday and the type of accommodation offered, but as a general rule of thumb, the cost this winter season ranges between 405.53 euros for a ten-day stay in coastal areas to 115.98 euros for three nights in provincial capitals.
The prices for the 2021-2022 season of the Imserso senior trips include the following:
- Accommodation: double room to share. If a guest wishes to have their own room, an additional supplement will be charged.
- Full board, except for trips to provincial capitals where half board is offered.
- Transport, except for holidays in which it is not expressly included and for trips to provincial capitals.
- Christmas and New Year's breaks: includes a supplement of € 20 per person for each gala lunch or dinner (Gala dinners: December 24 and 31. Gala meals: December 25 and January 1).
How to book an Imserso trip
To make a reservation, the traveller will need the four digit password provided in the letter they received when requesting the trip initially. Guests can then either take this code to one of the participating travel agencies to book directly or can manage the entire process online.
Full details of the available trips and booking details can be found on the official Imserso website.
