The analysis and the results presented in this article are based on a reading and creative writing workshop organised within the “Aula abierta” programme at the Universitat de Lleida. In the four sessions that composed the workshop, texts from contemporary authors that focused on topics such as wisdom, loneliness, illness and death were analysed. Through the analysis of the debates and the creative writing activities of the participants, we conclude that literature is an ideal medium to reflect and debate on ageing from an open and creative perspective. Amongst the main conclusions of the analysis, creativity continues to be present in old age. La literatura es especialmente importante para las personas mayores, ya que, a través de representaciones literarias, éstas pueden cuestionar estereotipos y tabúes asociados al envejecimiento, así como la continuidad de la creatividad durante la vejez. El análisis y los resultados que se presentan en este trabajo se basan en un taller sobre lectura y escritura creativa organizado dentro del programa “Aula abierta” de la Universitat de Lleida. En las cuatro sesiones del taller se comentaron textos de autores contemporáneos en los que predominaban temas como la sabiduría, la soledad, la enfermedad y la muerte. A partir del análisis de los debates, y de los ejercicios creativos de los participantes, concluimos que la literatura es un medio ideal para reflexionar y debatir sobre la vejez de forma abierta y creativa. Entre las principales conclusiones consideramos que la creatividad continúa activa en la vejez.
