Residential mobility is an increasing phenomenon among the population, but in particular among the old people. The retirement is usually a moment in which more and more people decide to change their place of residence. This is a decision which mainly responds to social, economic and cultural factors; nevertheless, it is also necessary for the study of the mobility to deepen in other geographic, environmental, familiar, social and cultural reasons. In this article, reasons that have impelled to old residents living in Madrid to change the place of residence (both in a definitive or temporary way) are analyzed; for this, qualitative methodology has been used. It is necessary to know well those reasons, not only to plan places for retirement in the future, also to plan services and equipment that such displacements require, and for the contribution to the improvement of the quality of life of these people.
