The Cabildo of Fuerteventura has signed today the agreement ‘Fuerteventura, for a healthy old age’ with Neurolímpica Association and Padilla Supermercados Spar. An initiative that has allowed to deliver discount cards for the purchase of healthy products and basic necessities to the participants of the project NeuroMajo2025 of the Department of Social Action of the Island Corporation.
