Old age is often refused by those who are still young or adults, and usually, when people become old, they do not know how to make the most of this period of life and do not live it as well as they could. Nowadays, there has been a dramatic increase in the interest shown towards the elderly. This interest is related to the study and the analysis of the elderly, but not with its progress as it used to be through the history. At the moment, various and numerous World Heritages are being revised and claimed. That is the reason why it is necessary to go for the acknowledgement that old age should received as immaterial World Heritage.

Palabras clave : Old age; immaterial; world heritage.
