Fernán Caballero: 92,000 euros to purchase land for the fairgrounds

The Fernán Caballero City Council will stop allocating the 92,000 euros from the nominative grant of the Provincial Council of Ciudad Real to renovate the municipal Casino and will instead use them to acquire land for the municipal fairgrounds. This is stated in announcement number 3636 published by the Comptroller’s Office of the Provincial Council in the Official Gazette of the Province of Ciudad Real (BOP) number 217, dated November 10, 2026, on page 11, with secure verification code MkAn9S6MWDxPLXFy+GoN. The agreement was adopted by the Plenary of the Provincial Council in an ordinary session held on November 6, 2026.

The plenary agreement and its legal basis

The change affects the Forty-First Clause of the execution bases of the current budget of the provincial Corporation, within the budgetary application 29900.94200.762, titled “Nominative Grants. Municipal Assistance Area.” The modification is limited to the purpose column: the beneficiary and the amount remain intact. The table published in the BOP reflects it as follows:

• Where it said: Fernán Caballero City Council — “Renovation of the Fernán Caballero Casino” — 92,000.00 €.
• It will now say: Fernán Caballero City Council — “Acquisition of land intended for the municipal fairgrounds of Fernán Caballero” — 92,000.00 €.
• Total application: 92,000.00 €, with no change in amount.

The file is subject to public information in compliance with article 169.1 of the Royal Legislative Decree 2/2004, of March 5, which approves the Recast Text of the Law Regulating Local Treasuries, to which article 177.2 refers. This procedure enables the submission of possible claims against the modification of the grant’s purpose.

From the Casino renovation to land purchase

The grant was originally created for a different purpose. The Plenary of the Most Excellent Provincial Council, in an extraordinary session on September 30, 2026, initially approved the credit modification file 25/9MC for extraordinary credits and credit supplements of the 2026 budget, whose list of nominative grants included the 92,000 euros for the “Renovation of the Fernán Caballero casino.” That agreement was published in BOP number 192, dated October 6, 2026.

The final approval, once the file had been made public without any claims, was published in BOP number 210, of October 30, 2026 (announcement number 3496). That same announcement details the modification: a credit supplement of €2,971,000.00 in application 29900 94200 762 (“Nom. Subsidies Area for Assistance to the Municipalities of C. Real”), financed with a surplus for general expenses and classified under chapter 7 of capital transfers in the expenditure budget. The amount for Fernán Caballero was one of the 23 beneficiary municipalities of this distribution.

The change arrives, therefore, less than six weeks after the final approval of the file and without altering the amount assigned to the municipality.

Fifteen business days to appeal

The announcement opens a public information period of fifteen business days starting from the day following its publication in the BOP and on the notice board, for the submission of possible claims. The document is signed by the president of the Provincial Council, Miguel Ángel Valverde Menchero, in Ciudad Real on November 6, 2026, and bears the signature of the head of the BOP section, Juan Luis Cuadros Campo, on November 9, 2026.

The operation is conditional upon the processing of this public exhibition period and the subsequent acquisition of the land by the City Council, which must allocate the money to the now declared purpose.

The reallocation converts a construction grant into a land purchase instrument, which gives the Fernán Caballero City Council room to provide its own land for a facility, the fairgrounds, which until now depended on the available location in the municipality. For the residents, the change delays the announced renovation of the Casino and shifts the municipal priority to the expansion of the fairgrounds, an infrastructure linked to the festive and commercial activity of the local calendar.
