Families in San Pedro Alcántara and Nueva Andalucía can again use local discount cards for back-to-school purchases under a campaign promoted by the business association Apymespa. Marbella City Hall said the initiative is intended to help households with school-related spending while directing custom towards participating local businesses.
School discount card campaign
- Area: San Pedro Alcántara and Nueva Andalucía
- How cards are shared: through school parent associations and DYA Málaga
- Use: participating local businesses offer their own discounts
How the cards are being distributed
TL;DR: The campaign relies on schools’ parent associations and DYA Málaga to get cards to families.
The council notice says the parent associations of schools in San Pedro Alcántara and Nueva Andalucía are helping distribute the cards. DYA Málaga is also involved, including distribution to families who use the municipal prepaid-card support programme. The notice does not set out a universal collection point or a single expiry date, so readers should check with their school’s parent association or the participating business before making a special trip.
Where the offers apply
TL;DR: Offers vary by business, so the card does not guarantee the same saving at every shop.
According to Marbella City Hall, named participants include Ofipapel, Multiópticas, the clinic of Dr Juana Ruiz, La Barraquita, Telnet Informática and Joyería Álvarez. The authority says each business offers different advantages or discounts. Marbella Daily has not independently checked individual stock, prices or terms, so families should confirm the offer directly with the business before buying.
Why this matters in Marbella
TL;DR: The cards may give families a local option as school-related costs rise at the start of term.
Books, bags, stationery and other return-to-school needs can concentrate household spending into a short period. The campaign may be useful for families already shopping in the area, while also supporting small local businesses. It is an association-led campaign backed by the council, rather than a municipal benefit that applies automatically to every household.
What readers should know
TL;DR: Check availability, business-specific terms and any restrictions before relying on a card.
The municipal announcement was published on 31 August 2026 and was checked by Marbella Daily on 2 September 2026. It confirms the distribution partners and participating businesses but does not provide a complete list of terms for every offer. Readers can review the Marbella City Hall notice for the authority’s full statement.
