Muvisa - Unidad de Mayores

Support for older adults in La Laguna

Muvisa is the organization commissioned by La Laguna City Council, through its Social Welfare Department, to manage the municipality's Senior Engagement Service. Its work focuses on older people in La Laguna and on providing a network of support, activities, and assistance intended to help them maintain independence and take part in community life.

Services and programs

The service is built around social engagement, support, and community participation programs. Featured initiatives include workshops and activities, the “Women to the Beach” program, outdoor walks, and the Municipal Office for Older Adults, which offers guidance on issues affecting older residents, processes applications, and supports local older-adult associations.

Workshops and activities

Activities are held at various associations and centers throughout the municipality and include Zumba, stimulation and exercise, painting, theater, healthy cooking, arts and crafts, memory activities, yoga, personal growth, photography, and Radio ECCA sessions. The workshops are for adults age 60 and older, are free, and are funded by La Laguna City Council's Social Welfare Department. Participants must be registered residents of the municipality.

Publications

The organization publishes the magazine Mucho por vivir. Its second issue (December 2025) describes its workshops and programs and addresses unwanted loneliness in La Laguna.
