The Olot ice rink will cost nine euros per hour and will have discounts for schools

The Local Government Board of the Olot City Council has approved the public prices for the ice rink activity installed in the city’s plaça Major, which will operate from December 5, 2026, to January 6, 2027. The agreement was made by delegation of the Plenary in the ordinary session of October 29, 2026, and is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Girona no. 218, of November 12, 2026 (CVE BOP-2026_0_218_9632). The general rate is set at 9 euros per hour of skating and 6 euros per half hour, with specific discounts for schools, sports clubs, and large or single-parent families.

The amounts are approved under Article 127 in relation to Article 41 of RDL 2/2004, of March 5, which approves the revised text of the Law regulating local treasuries. All published amounts are final prices including 21% VAT, and the announcement details the base and the quota in each case: thus, the general hour of 9 euros is broken down into a taxable base of 7.43 euros and 1.57 euros of VAT. The municipal file supporting the agreement is IG112026000020, with reference number X2026073590, and the document appears electronically signed on November 4, 2026.

Advertising on fences and banners

The announcement also sets the prices for advertising space on the venue’s fences, which do not include the production, printing, or placement of the vinyls: they only cover the reservation of the space and a booklet with 20 skating invitations. The rates vary according to location and format, with a maximum of 453.75 euros per unit for the interior fences in the ticket sales area and the exterior ones near Carrer Major.

• 7 interior fences in the ticket sales area: 453.75 euros per unit.

Appeals against the agreement

The agreement ends the administrative route, meaning that interested parties may file a request for reconsideration prior to administrative litigation before the same body that issued it, within a period of one month starting from the day after publication. If the appeal is not expressly resolved within one month, it is understood to be dismissed, and the administrative litigation route remains open before the Administrative Litigation Court of Girona, in accordance with articles 8.1, 25.1, and 46.1 of Law 29/1998, of July 13.

The publication completes the tariff grid for one of the city’s most crowded Christmas facilities and establishes for the first time in an official document the set of prices, promotions, and conditions of use, from mandatory gloves to time-based penalties. For readers, this means that any variation in rates or discounts during the season must go through a new municipal agreement published in the bulletin, and that families, educational centers, and clubs already have the exact framework to plan visits between December 5 and January 6.
