Biking Pilgrim Supports Age Care Association
Age Care Association volunteer Tania Aldrige will be driving to France on the 10th of June to participate in a charity bike ride, raising funds for the Costa del Sol’s Age Care Association.
With a group of friends, and the aid of a support vehicle, she will cycle from St Jean Pied de Port, France to Santiago Compostela in Galicia, Spain, 780 kilometres west. St Jean Pied de Port is the most popular starting point out of a possible five main Camino pilgrimage routes.
Her aim is to cover around 80km a day. She will be spending a couple of days in Santiago before flying back on Sunday, June 23rd.

About Age Care Association
Age Care Association is a fully registered, non-profit making organisation staffed entirely by volunteers. Our Spanish registration number is 6282 – CIF – G92487602 (Registro de Asociaciones de Andalucia). The majority of our work is helping older British people living in the Province of Malaga, but we do not exclude other nationalities that speak English. We provide welfare information, practical support and two help lines (Telephones: 691761088, and 655903182). The Association also has a hospital and home visiting team. Other volunteers visit people in Care Homes when necessary. As part of our work we have repatriated some individuals to the UK, where there are more caring facilities and access to benefits unavailable in Spain. Some of our volunteers have had careers in nursing, education, psychology and other caring professions and are accustomed to listening in a sympathetic and kind manner. We work closely with the British Consulate, Royal British Legion, and branches of the International Lions.
