The Generalitat grants 700,000 euros to the La Nucia City Council for a zipline

The Generalitat Valenciana has granted a direct subsidy of 700,000 euros to the City Council of La Nucia to execute the “Project and execution of platform and zipline,” an active tourism infrastructure that will connect La Nucia and Polop de la Marina. The grant is formalized in the Resolution of November 4, 2026, from the Second Vice Presidency and Conselleria of the Presidency, published in the Official Gazette of the Generalitat Valenciana (Diari Oficial de la Generalitat Valenciana) no. 10490, of November 10, 2026, with official reference DOGV-C-2026-34883.

The aid is nominative and is allocated in Law 4/2026, of July 22, on the budgets of the Generalitat for the 2026 financial year, within the subsidy line S2194 “Project and execution of platform and zipline,” of subprogram 125B00, Fight against depopulation and territorial cohesion, in the section, service, and managing center G01050403. The resolution is based on article 22.2.a) of Law 38/2003, of November 17, general law on subsidies, and article 168.1.A of Law 1/2015, of February 6, on the public treasury of the Generalitat. The processing and management correspond to the Directorate General of Local Administration, and the text is signed by its director general, Jose Antonio Redorat Fresquet, by delegation of the resolution of April 11, 2026.

A 300-meter double-way zipline

The funded action consists of a platform and a double-way zipline that will run between the municipal boundaries of La Nucia and Polop de la Marina, with the following characteristics according to the report provided by the city council:

• Approximate length of 300 meters in one direction and 310 meters in the reverse.
• Inclusion of the necessary urbanization, conditioning, and security works.
• Enhancement of the natural environment where the infrastructure is implemented.
• Purpose: to create a unique tourist resource that takes advantage of the natural conditions of the territory and promotes active and sustainable tourism.

The estimated budget for the total cost of the action also amounts to 700,000 euros, and includes the drafting of projects, the execution of the works, and the necessary site management and technical assistance.

Two annual installments and acceptance process

The amount is distributed over two financial years, with future installments conditioned on the existence of adequate and sufficient credit:

• 2026: 182,338.53 euros.
• 2027: 517,661.47 euros.
• Total: 700,000.00 euros.

The Consell had already enabled the multi-year commitment through the Agreement of October 7, 2026 (DOGV no. 10470, of October 14, 2026, reference DOGV-C-2026-31362), which raised the 2027 annual limit from 490,000 to 517,661.47 euros, from 70% to 73.95%. For its part, the City Council of La Nucia, with CIF P0309400J, has ten business days from the date of publication to express its agreement with the grant and submit the acceptance form provided as an annex.

Justification, control and compatibility

The city council must submit a justification account with an activity report and an economic report certified by the Municipal Audit Office, and include in the final annual installment a certificate from the Municipal Secretariat regarding the approval and supervision of the project in accordance with Law 9/2017, of November 8, on public sector contracts, in addition to photographic evidence. The justification for each annual installment must be submitted electronically before November 30 of the corresponding fiscal year. Payment will be made by transfer once it has been verified that the entity is up to date with its tax obligations, with the Social Security, and with the Sindicatura de Comptes (Audit Chamber).

The grant is declared compatible with other aid, provided that the total does not exceed the cost of the activity, and is exempt from notification to the European Commission as it does not meet the requirements of Article 107 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. Against the resolution, which exhausts the administrative route, an optional appeal for reversal may be filed within one month or a contentious-administrative appeal within two months.

The grant consolidates La Nucia’s commitment to sports and nature tourism as an economic driver: the infrastructure is added to the municipality’s existing facilities and extends its impact to Polop de la Marina, with entirely regional funding and execution spread until 2027.
