The meeting, held in Pacs del Penedès, highlights the municipality's trajectory in promoting rural trade, particularly the La Botigueta project, a municipal multi-service center that revitalizes local life.
A key moment was the dialogue between the mayor of Pacs del Penedès, Montserrat Amat, and the delegate councilor for Trade and Consumption of the Barcelona Provincial Council, Olga Serra. They discussed the need for joint efforts to ensure the viability of rural trade.
The City Council expressed gratitude for the involvement of the Barcelona Provincial Council, especially Olga Serra and Josep Pena, coordinator of the Trade, Consumption, and Public Health Area, as well as the presence of Anna Franco, deputy director general of Trade of the Generalitat de Catalunya, in supporting the La Botigueta project.
The La Botigueta project, a bar and restaurant, exemplifies how cooperation between the City Council, the Barcelona Provincial Council, and the Generalitat de Catalunya meets the needs of rural municipalities, demonstrating that joint work is essential for maintaining local services.
The day included an institutional dialogue, a presentation on the regulatory framework, and the sharing of inspiring experiences. By hosting this event, Pacs del Penedès reaffirms its role as a reference municipality for rural trade and its commitment to a vibrant village model.
