Arcos commits 879,326 euros to rural tracks, more than Benaocaz, Espera, Algar and Ubrique put together

In the 19-municipality Sierra de Cádiz comarca, the two rural track projects that Arcos de la Frontera tendered on Monday 5, worth 879,326 euros, exceed the six open tenders in every other town combined. Ubrique welcomes a bakery, a clothes shop and a property intermediary, while Olvera reaches the final day of its auction, a 123 square metre flat.

Fixing the Arcos tracks is worth 879,326.34 euros, 52.5 per cent when the eight live contracts in the comarca are added up

• Bids for the Arcos roads are accepted until Monday 26. Arcos de la Frontera Town Council published two licitaciones, public tenders in which companies bid to carry out works or a service, on 5 October on the Plataforma de Contratación del Sector Público, the official portal where public bodies publish their tenders for works and services. The first, surfacing and asphalting the rural roads of the colada de Casabermeja, el Guijo, Concejo and Angostura, is tendered at 752,135.94 euros before VAT, that is, before tax. The second, improving the Juan Candil and la Sierpe roads, is tendered at 127,190.40 euros before VAT.
• The rest trail behind. The eight tenders taking bids in the Sierra de Cádiz comarca total 1,676,483.35 euros before VAT. The two in Arcos account for 879,326.34, or 52.5 per cent, and the six in Benaocaz, Espera, Algar and Ubrique come to 797,157.01, according to the Plataforma de Contratación.
• Four more towns. Benaocaz is tendering a car park, until 22 October, and an adventure multi-park, until the 19th. Espera is retendering the works on its archaeological museum until the 26th. Algar, its nursery school and swimming pool until the 21st, and Ubrique wants seven electrical panels until the 16th.

Grazalema, Olvera, Puerto Serrano and Villamartín are still to pick builders for 544,685 euros of works

• No company yet in Grazalema, Puerto Serrano or Olvera. Phase 4 of Las Colmenillas in Grazalema, tendered at 140,010.33 euros before VAT, and Plaza Miguel Rodríguez Rivera in Puerto Serrano, tendered at 135,578.51, stopped taking bids on 8 October. Phase 3 of the Rancho Grande building in Olvera, worth 212,939.42, closed on 29 September.
• Villamartín's Torrevieja patio remains under review. The patio on Calle Torrevieja, tendered at 56,156.63 euros before VAT, is under assessment: the public body is studying the bids and has not yet chosen a company. The first Espera museum tender is recorded as resolved with no company, and the Town Council has retendered it for the same amount.
• Espera and Arcos have their contractors. Espera's municipal energy services, tendered at 3,467,743.95 euros before VAT, more than double the eight tenders open this week, are recorded as resolved in favour of Cactus Servicios Energéticos S.L. The Arcos tourist office, tendered at 51,194.08, is recorded as resolved in favour of Obras y Excavaciones Manzano, S.L.U. The Olvera festivities appear as awarded, with no company in the data CASAS.ES collects.

Olvera closes the last auction in the Sierra this Tuesday 13, a 123 square metre flat

• The 123 metre Olvera auction ends today, Tuesday. Auction SUB-JA-2026-265707, a public sale ordered by a court, has been open for bids since 23 September on the Portal de Subastas, the official website of the BOE, Spain's Official State Gazette, where courts and public bodies auction property. It ends this Tuesday 13 October, the day of this edition, at the time shown on its listing. It covers 123 registered square metres.
• Olvera is left alone on the Portal. The auctions in Prado del Rey and Benaocaz have already ended. Only the one in Olvera remains, on the Portal de Subastas, where anyone who registers can bid.

Ubrique welcomes three companies on Friday 9, each founded with 3,000 euros

• Four newcomers bring 12,000 euros of capital. The BORME of 9 October, the Official Gazette of the Companies Register, where new companies, capital changes and closures must be published by law, lists four new companies in the comarca, each with 3,000 euros of share capital, the money the partners put in when founding the company.
• In Ubrique, bread, fashion and property intermediation. New in Ubrique are PANADERIA LA CHATA SL, for bread, pastries and cakes, M13 LUXURY SL, selling clothes, and an unnamed property and financial intermediation company. (BORME).
• A new restaurant in Arcos de la Frontera. A restaurant company is set up in Arcos de la Frontera with 3,000 euros of capital. Its name, which looks like a family name, is not given (BORME).

Almond farms and trainee travel to companies are the two Andalusian lines taking applications

• Agriculture backs almond growers and Education helps FP trainees travel. The BDNS, the National Grants Database, published Consejería de Agricultura grants for almond farms and Consejería de Desarrollo Educativo grants for FP students' travel to companies, for those in Formación Profesional, vocational education and training, the official studies that qualify people for a profession. They are Junta de Andalucía calls for the whole region, with amount and deadline in each official listing.
• Two are already spoken for. Each is a subvención nominativa, a grant earmarked for a named recipient, which nobody else can apply for: one from the Patronato de la Alhambra to the Universidad de Sevilla for a master's degree and another from the Servicio Andaluz de Empleo, the Junta de Andalucía body that manages employment policy, to the Andalusian foundation for people with mental illness.
• Two more listings leave eligibility unclear. That leaves the promotion of cultural activity in rural areas of Andalusia and the one from the Instituto Andaluz de la Mujer to trade unions.
