In Spain, there are some benefits for pensioners:
1) Transportation. Public transport has some types of discounts in all autonomous communities, from free to 50% -90% discounts. In Spanish trains for those over 60 years old they offer a gold RENFE card, you need to buy an annual card for 6 euros, which gives you the right to receive discounts from 25% to 50%, depending on the type of train and the day. This option is valid for both short and long journeys. The bus company ALSA applies 40% (except for Fridays and Sundays - these days 20%).
2) Travel. IMSERSO (Institute for the Elderly and Social Services) - offers trips to the Iberian Peninsula at a reduced price, mainly during the low season. There are sanatorium programs, in addition, a pensioner may be accompanied by a person for whom the price will be the same as for a pensioner.
3) Leisure. Cinemas. Almost all cinema chains apply discounts ranging from 10% to 50% of the normal input - usually on a certain weekday, or in the morning sessions.
Theater. Most of them have a wide range of discounts, which usually range from 10% to 50%. In some, these discounts are permanent (for example, in Arriaga de Bilbao, 25% for people over 65, others offer a temporary discount.
4) Education and culture. Some museums provide free entry for retirees, others offer discounts from 20 to 40%. Sometimes retirement means what you would call a return to school. There are many measures to encourage older people to access education at an affordable price.
