The Government of Catalonia (Generalitat de Catalunya) has confirmed that Pratdip Town Council did not submit an application for funding under the 2026 Pla de Barris i Viles programme, which supports urban regeneration and improvements to neighbourhoods and towns across Catalonia.
On 29 May, La Tribune de Planas published an article about the programme, which initially had a budget of €200 million, and considered whether it might offer opportunities for Planas del Rey. On 21 October 2026, the Generalitat increased the funding to €300 million, without changing the conditions for awarding grants.
To find out whether Pratdip had taken part in the funding round, La Tribune contacted the Generalitat de Catalunya directly.
Official confirmation from the Generalitat
In its response dated 11 November 2026, the Generalitat’s Department of Territory, Housing and Ecological Transition explicitly stated:
“El municipi de Pratdip no s’ha presentat a la convocatòria de subvencions de 2026 del Pla de Barris i Viles.”
In other words, Pratdip was not among the 117 municipalities that submitted applications for the 2026 funding round.
The Generalitat also provided an official map showing the municipalities that applied.
Why did Pratdip not apply?
This confirmation settles one question: Pratdip Town Council did not submit an application for this funding round.
However, it does not explain why. Did the municipality fail to meet the eligibility criteria? Was the programme not aligned with the council’s priorities? Were there other reasons for deciding not to apply?
At present, we have no information that would allow us to answer these questions.
It also remains unclear whether a project involving Planas del Rey could have qualified for funding under the programme.
These questions are worth putting to Pratdip Town Council, particularly with a view to any future funding rounds.
