Vimbodí i Poblet submits a rural tourism farmhouse for public information

The City Council of Vimbodí i Poblet has submitted for public review, for a period of one month, the specific action project (PAE) intended to implement a rural tourism activity in the form of a farmhouse at the current site of the Mas de la Cova dels Foresos. The announcement was published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Tarragona (BOPT) on October 7, 2026, with the official reference CVE 2026-09178 and a length of one page. The resolution was electronically signed by the mayor, Joan Canela Rios, on October 1, 2026.

The procedure is framed within Catalan urban planning legislation: specifically, in article 48 of Legislative Decree 1/2010, of August 3, which approves the Recast Text of the Urban Planning Law, and in article 51 of Decree 64/2014, of May 13, which approves the Regulation for the protection of urban planning legality. The issuing body is the City Council of Vimbodí i Poblet, a municipality in the region of Conca de Barberà, which publishes the edict in the official provincial gazette so that interested parties may examine the file and submit allegations.

A specific action project on non-urbanizable land

The PAE affects the current site of the Mas de la Cova dels Foresos, a rustic estate that is intended to be converted into tourist accommodation. The identification data of the action are:

• Location: polygon 27, plot 2, of the municipality of Vimbodí i Poblet.
• Type of accommodation: rural tourism farmhouse.
• Urban planning instrument: specific action project (PAE).
• Legal framework: article 48 of Legislative Decree 1/2010 and article 51 of Decree 64/2014.

This type of instrument is what urban planning regulations provide to authorize uses and activities on non-urbanizable land when they do not fit directly into the general planning, and its processing requires the prior step of public review.

One month to examine the file and present allegations

During the public review period, interested parties may consult the project at the offices of the City Council of Vimbodí i Poblet, during public office hours, and present any allegations they deem appropriate.

• Deadline: one month.
• Place of examination: municipal offices, during public office hours.
• Open procedure: submission of allegations by interested parties.
• Published contact address: Plaça Major, 1, 43430 Vimbodí i Poblet (tel. 977 87 83 44).

Official publication data

• Gazette: Official Gazette of the Province of Tarragona (BOPT).

• Page: 1-1.
• Signatory: Joan Canela Rios, mayor of Vimbodí i Poblet.

The processing is of particular interest to the residents of the municipality and the tourism sector of the Conca de Barberà, as the conversion of the farmhouse into rural accommodation could expand the region’s lodging offer and opens a period during which any affected person can influence the project before it becomes final.
