SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA, 27 (EUROPA PRESS)

The emeritus King Juan Carlos I arrived at the Club Nautico de Sanxenxo (Pontevedra) at 12:15 p.m., where he was received by dozens of people who applauded him and shouted ‘Long live the King!’ and ‘thief!’, to go out to train aboard the ‘Bribn’.

Juan Carlos I got out of the vehicle dressed in sportswear, black pants, a gray jacket, sunglasses and a cap, and leaned on his cane until he reached the stairs.

In this way, once he was at the access to the pants, an assistant helped him down, thus abandoning his cane, to hold on to the railing.

At the jetty he stopped to say hello and talk to a group of children from the Real Club Nautico de Sanxenxo (RCNS) who were on board the semi-rigid boat ‘Cristina’, which later became the auxiliary boat for the emeritus.

Thus, after 3:45 p.m., the king left directly, without stopping at the RCNS, to the house of Pedro Campos where he was staying, as usual, during his visit to Galicia.

By province, in A Corua seven cinemas have been added, followed by Pontevedra (6), Lugo (3) and Ourense (1). This is a measure promoted by the central government to encourage a return to the theaters.

Specifically, the seven affiliated cinemas in A Corua are: Odeon Multicines (Narn), Cinesa As Cancelas (Santiago), Numax (Santiago), Cines Compostela, Cinesa Marineda City (A Corua), Yelmo Cines Espacio Corua, Duplex (Ferrol) .

In the province of Pontevedra, the list is as follows: Tamberlick (Vigo), Multicines Norte (Vigo), Cines Yelmo Premium Vialia Vigo, Yelmo Cines Vigo, Minicines Central (A Estrada) and Avenida (Caldas de Reis).

In Lugo: Cines Yelmo As Termas (Lugo), Cines Viveiro and Cinelandia (Ribadeo). The only cinema that is added in the province of Ourense is the Novocine de Leiro.

The Ministry points out that it is a proposal that advocates “recovering the illusion of enjoying cinema as an emotional and face-to-face experience, which transcends the mere fact of watching a movie and which, instead, turns the act of going to the cinema into a social and vibrant practice”.

According to the Royal Decree approved by the Council of Ministers on June 13, at the proposal of the Minister of Culture and Sports, Miquel Iceta, the measure will allow one day a week, preferably Tuesday or another day in the case of theaters. that only open during the weekend or that close precisely on Tuesdays, people aged 65 or over can access the cinema for two euros.

CINEMA ON THE BIG SCREEN

People 65 years of age or older are the age group that takes the longest to resume the habits of attending movies in theaters prior to the pandemic.

Thus, in cinema attendance there are still notable differences between age groups, since if 49.3% of young people aged 20 to 24 went to the cinema at least once a year between 2021 and 2022, that percentage drops to 6% in the older population. Of all the cultural sectors, cinema is one of the most affected, still today, by the pandemic.
