A group of Spanish pensioners attended the theatre in central Madrid this week on their first trip out in nearly a year.
The group of 150 pensioners from seven Madrid care homes were invited to see a show at the EDP theatre on Gran Via, the city's busiest shopping street, after they received their Covid-19 vaccines.
Fifty carers who have also been immunised also attendedthe one-man show by the actor Santi Rodriguez.
So far, some 1.2 million people have been vaccinated in Spain since the start of the immunisation campaign which began just after Christmas with care home residents first in line along with their carers.
In early December, a government report estimated that between 47% and 50% of deaths in the first wave of the pandemic occurred in elderly care homes.
Spain has so far counted more than 68,000 deaths and more than 1.3 million cases.
