The objective is to enable the installation and operation of a bar counter in the Livestock Market of La Pola-Lena during the nine days encompassing the “Puerta de Asturias” competition and the Rosario and San Andrés fairs of 2026.

The full conditions of the operation, the documentation required from bidders, and other obligations are detailed in the specifications document, available through the General Secretariat itself.

The announcement is signed in Lena on October 6, 2026, by the Councilwoman delegated to the Area of Festivals, Commerce, Hospitality and Women, with the clarification that she acts by delegation by virtue of decree 1267/2024, of September 22.

The call offers local hospitality operators a business opportunity in a venue with concentrated attendance during nine days of livestock competitions, with a low minimum expenditure and a procedure resolved exclusively by the best economic offer. The deadline, however, is short: eight calendar days from publication, so interested parties must already prepare the specifications documentation and their proposed fee.
