Recently in the post I received my tarjeta sesentaycinco from the Junta de Andalucía. I’d applied for it only a week or so previously. It entitles me to a range of benefits, namely
- Permanent telephone support from the Andalusian region 24 hours a day, 365 days a year
- 50% discount on interurban bus tickets
- 30 – 55% discount on spectacles, frames and varifocals
- 30-35% discount on hearing aids
- Discounts on cultural and leisure events
- Free legal consultation
- Luncheon vouchers
- Domestic grants
Applying for the card
The card is applied for online or by printing off the form here (in Spanish). There is a helpline which can be answered in English (Monday to Friday) on (0034) 900200165.
Eligibility criteria:
- over 65
- resident in Andalucía
- empadronado (on the electoral roll)
What to do:
- you apply at your local town hall.
- You have to provide a recent passport photo and copies of an identity document, residence (NIE or TIE) and padrón certificate.
- The card is free and lasts five years at which point you can renew for free.

I’m off now on an interurban bus to get new glasses and a hearing aid. If the bus crashes, I can ring the 24-hour helpline and get free legal advice!
