The announcement is signed by the First Deputy Mayor, substituting for the Mayoress, by virtue of Mayoral Decree 2026-0232, dated October 5, 2026.

The ordinance provides stable legal coverage for services widely used during the tourist season and consolidates free access for people with disabilities, with a direct impact on the cost of access to pools, transport, and sports facilities for the residents of the valley.
