Orihuela activates aid for large families in several areas

Published on May 26, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

The Orihuela City Council has launched an informational campaign aimed at large families in the municipality. The initiative details discounts on municipal fees, transportation, cultural activities, sports, education, and housing. Additionally, the Department of Social Welfare offers in-person and telephone advisory services to obtain the official large family certificate, an essential requirement to access these benefits.

To facilitate access, the department has set up a mixed service system. Interested parties can request an in-person appointment at the Social Welfare offices or make telephone inquiries during public service hours. Although no specific online platform has been detailed for this campaign, the department recommends checking the municipal electronic headquarters to download the necessary forms and verify the required documentation before visiting the offices.

The official certificate: the holy grail of municipal discounts 🏆

Obtaining the large family card seems more complicated than finding parking in downtown Orihuela on a Saturday afternoon. Between registration certificates, family books, and certified photocopies, the process feels like a bureaucratic obstacle course. But do not despair: once completed, you can enjoy discounts at the sports center and on the city bus, which is where one regains faith in local administration.
