Spanish municipalities and provincial authorities continued extensive infrastructure, road safety, and urban renewal efforts through mid-September 2026. 

Road infrastructure and safety remain central priorities. In Galicia, the Xunta inaugurated a 54-meter pedestrian walkway in Cudeiro, Ourense, costing over 435,000 euros. The project connects paths along the OU-150 road by crossing the Val dos Gozos stream, providing safe passage for pedestrians to avoid a narrow historic bridge used by vehicles. In Andalusia, the Puente Genil City Council received plans for a new roundabout at the entrance to the Cañada de la Plata residential area. Designed to improve safety on the A-318 highway, the project is expected to be tendered between October and November with a budget exceeding 112,000 euros.

Urban accessibility and mobility projects have expanded in Andalusia. In Dos Hermanas, a new parking area in the Los Montecillos neighborhood has been opened, featuring 30 spaces, improved drainage, and dedicated areas for people with reduced mobility. In Benalmádena, a €254,463 project on Avenida Retamar is underway to widen the roadway and create a 2.25-meter-wide sidewalk.

Commercial revitalization and market modernization are progressing. In Vícar, a €532,690.40 contract was awarded for the new La Gangosa Food Market, funded by European funds to improve energy efficiency and accessibility. In Cartagena, following over €1 million in modernization since 2023, the local government approved a tender for the exploitation of 23 vacant commercial units and a basement parking lot at the Santa Florentina Municipal Market.

Educational maintenance continues to address structural needs in Puente Genil, Orihuela, Badajoz, and Llanes.
