La Massana parish council marked the International Day of Older Persons yesterday with tributes to its three oldest residents, Josep Martos, Lluís Molné, and Aurora Areny.
Major Consul Eva Sansa and Welfare and Seniors Councillor Marc Jové, accompanied by department head Clàudia Garcia, visited the centenarians at their homes in the morning, joined by their families. Martos, the parish's oldest resident at 102, will turn 103 in December. Molné marked his 100th birthday in June, while Areny will reach her centenary tomorrow.
Each received a potted plant, a tile of locally made artisanal chocolate, and the council's silver pin. The group shared personal stories, reflected on changes in the parish, looked through old photographs, and discussed daily habits for staying active.
The most important thing was to offer them a special tribute today, Jové said, extending recognition to all of La Massana's older residents. He pointed to the council's range of activities and resources aimed at supporting healthy ageing, which enjoy wide participation.
The commemoration continued in the afternoon with a snack gathering at the Casa Pairal.
