The Ulldemolins Town Council, in Priorat, has opened a call for bids to award the management of the bar 'El Centro', closed for a decade. The deadline for applications is November 26.
The Ulldemolins Town Council has launched a tender to find someone to take charge of the bar 'El Centro', located in the Centre Cívic of the municipality and closed for about ten years. According to elperiodico.com, the offer combines the premises with a housing unit, an unusual incentive to attract new residents to a village in Priorat, in the province of Tarragona.
The establishment is handed over with modern and refurbished facilities, ready to open immediately. The initial contract is for four years, extendable, and the fixed monthly fee is 250 euros. The successful bidder will not pay anything during the first year, as long as they maintain the contract.
The council also proposes a social rental apartment for the awarded person for the entire duration of the contract. According to Mayor Sergi Méndez, this is a newly renovated and well-located four-bedroom home.
"It is a determined bet to ensure that in the future we will continue to have this service for the people of the village," says Sergi Méndez, mayor of Ulldemolins.
The initiative responds to the loss of population in small towns, which is exacerbated by the rising cost of housing in urban areas. For the community, recovering the bar means having a meeting point and service in the locality again.
Applications can be submitted until November 26, within the deadlines and manner set by the Ulldemolins Town Council.
