Expansion of Spanish Judicial Facilities

Entities: Juan Carlos Ruiz Boix · Javier García Rámila · Ministerio de la Presidencia, Justicia y Relaciones con las Cortes · Algeciras · Audiencia Provincial de Cádiz

Overview

In late June 2026, the opening of a new judicial complex in Alzira was announced for the following month, marking the latest addition to Spain’s court infrastructure.

A month later, the Spanish government approved Real Decreto 559/2026, establishing a ninth section of the Audiencia Provincial of Cádiz in Algeciras. The new section will staff four magistrates—two newly created positions and two transferred judges—and will add three magistrate seats to the local Tribunal de Instancia for civil and family matters. The Algeciras section is slated to begin operations on 31 December 2026, while the new instance posts are expected to be functional by June 2027. Ongoing construction of the “Ciudad de la Justicia” in Algeciras is projected to finish around mid‑2029, a timeline criticised by local politicians for its delay.
