Tarjeta sesenta cinco
Picked up a free magazine from my local English shop which said that for all pensioners in Spain (don't know how many that is ), there is a card which entitles them to certain discounts for spec, hearing aids and much else. The article was very coy in telling how this card was obtained !!!
Anyone else heard of this and can give more info?

Pensioners - Pensionista Club
Pensioners/Pensionistas. The Spanish Authorities take great care of their pensioners (often referred to as Amigos). Registering as a Pensionista gives you considerable benefits but I believe these vary somewhat depending on the Province in which you live. If registered anywhere in the Province of Valencia, these benefits include reduced train & bus fares, reduced admission to certain functions/events and admission to any Pensionistsa Club (the clubs are in most towns & villages) where generally meals and drinks are at very reasonable prices.
Showing your Pensionista membership card will ensure a warm welcome. You also become eligible for very reduced rate holidays at good class hotels via the Club Association.
To become a member in the Gandia area you need to collect a membership form from the Gandia Club's impressive premises based in Avenida Republica Argentina 52.
On completion you present it to the Reception Administrator together with a photocopy of your Passport, NIE registration or your Residencia plus two passport size photographs.
Outside the Gandia region you register either at your local Town Hall or at your nearest Pensionister Club Center.
