IF YOU'RE aged 65 or over, you're invited on a free trip to Fuengirola's lifelike open-air safari centre, BioParc, on Tuesday (March 29).
Setting off at 11.00, the group trip will give you a chance to see animals from every continent, many in serious danger of extinction, living peacefully in areas designed to mirror their natural habitats as closely as possible.

Babies start being born around now, so you may get to see some mums with their brand-new little ones.
The animals have been bred in Europe, mostly at the BioParcs themselves in Fuengirola and Valencia, and although they are raised in environments practically identical to those they would live in if they were in the wild and are more or less left to their own devices, they have a qualified team of animal-loving carers who keep a close watch on them from a distance to make sure they are in the best possible health.
And as the BioParc centres are open-air, the animals often get close to the public – enough to be able to touch them in some cases.
As if any further guarantees of the BioParc creatures' wellbeing were needed, the centres have been endorsed by Dr Jane Goodall, arguably the world's greatest expert in chimpanzees.
