PENSIONERS in Spain have finally received the green light to apply for the new season of Imserso trips.
On Monday, June 26, Ione Belarra, from the Ministry of Social Rights, announced that applications were now being taken to participate in the new season's programme. A total of 886,269 places are available for the 202324 season which is scheduled to start in October and continue until June 2024.
These trips are available to apply for until July 25. Preference will be given to pensioners who have not experienced one of the trips before.
Access to the database can be made via the internet through the Imserso Electronic Office. Once the online application form is completed, it can be submitted via the program’s telematics or in a stamped envelope, not by registered mail, to the address of the Imserso Tourism Program, at PO Box 10.140, 28080 Madrid.
