The Deputación adds the Barbadás quarries to the 2026 scenic subsidies

The Provincial Council of Ourense has included the San Mauro Cultural Association of Barbadás as a possible beneficiary of the grants for the promotion of performing and musical activities for the year 2026, in the category of cantareiras group. The decision was adopted by resolution of the Presidency on October 7, 2026, signed by the delegated deputy of the Area of Finance, Economy, and Human Resources, Marta Nóvoa Iglesias, and published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Ourense on October 29, 2026, in section I, with reference R. 2.453.

The regulatory framework of the aid

The resolution bases its processing on base 7 of the call for grants for the promotion of performing and musical activities for 2026. The regulatory bases were approved by the Governing Board of the Council in the session of January 19, 2026, and published in BOP no. 14, on January 22, 2026.

The file was examined by the Nominative Grants Office, which verified that the submitted application complies with the requirements established in the call. The resolution limits its scope to declaring the inclusion as a “possible beneficiary,” that is, to the phase of recognizing the right to compete in the aid line, without the published text fixing any amount or economic quantity.

The authority to sign corresponds to the delegated deputy of Finance, Economy, and Human Resources by delegation approved through Resolution 2023/9863, of July 31, 2023.

The data of the agreement

The published resolution contains a single inclusion, with the following official data:

• Recipient: Asociación Cultural San Mauro de Barbadás.
• CIF: G32123929.
• Activity: cantareiras group.
• Aid line: grants for the promotion of performing and musical activities, 2026 financial year.
• Date of resolution: October 7, 2026.
• Publication: BOP of Ourense of October 29, 2026, reference R. 2.453.

The text ends with the signature of Marta Nóvoa Iglesias and the usual formula “so it is ordered and signed,” with the date of Ourense, October 8, 2026.

Second inclusion of the same collective in the same year

The one from Barbadás is not the first inclusion of the entity in the performing and musical arts aid line for this financial year. In the BOP of October 22, 2026, another resolution of the Presidency, dated October 5, 2026, was published, by which the San Mauro Cultural Association was recognized as a possible beneficiary in the activity of choral group, with the same CIF and reference R. 2.418.

The trickle of individual resolutions is common in this call. On September 30, 2026, the provincial bulletin published a resolution dated September 14, 2026, by which the Asociación Penedo do Sil, with CIF G21674882, was included in the activity of traditional Galician dance group, with the reference R. 2.274. The three resolutions share the same structure: citation of the 7th basis, reference to the bases approved in January, and publication of the recipient, CIF, and activity.

Public funding for local culture

The inclusion means that a collective from the municipality of Barbadás is enabled to receive public money from the provincial support line for the performing arts and music, although the final amount is not detailed in the announcement. The call covers diverse manifestations —choirs, traditional dance, and traditional singing— which confirms that the program is not limited to instrumental ensembles.

Impact for readers

For the residents of Barbadás, the publication in the BOP is the formal confirmation that their group of singers enters the circuit of provincial subsidies for 2026, which conditions the scheduling of rehearsals, performances, and displacements of the collective during the rest of the fiscal year. For all readers, the announcement illustrates how the Deputación channels support for grassroots culture: through individual resolutions, published one by one in the official bulletin, which recognize each entity and its specific activity.
