In short: Royal Decree 686/2026 grants €2,000,000 in direct subsidy to 14 municipalities around the Doñana Natural Area (Huelva, Seville and Cádiz provinces) to fund information points, mobile offices, a phone line and prevention campaigns aimed at the foreign-origin population in the area, including seasonal agricultural workers. This is not money paid directly to you as a foreign resident — your town council manages it.
In person or by representative? Not applicable: this is a State-to-municipality subsidy, not a personal procedure. To access the services it funds (information, guidance), go in person to the point/office set up by your municipality.
Beneficiary municipalities (via the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration, through the Secretariat of State for Migration):
- Line 8.a) — prevention and awareness (Art. 8.a, €1,000,000): Almonte, Moguer, Bollullos Par del Condado, Palos de la Frontera, Rociana del Condado, Bonares, Hinojos, Lucena del Puerto.
- Line 8.b) — documentation/paperwork support (Art. 8.b, €1,000,000): the 8 municipalities above plus Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Aznalcázar, Pilas, La Puebla del Río, Isla Mayor and Villamanrique de la Condesa (14 total).
What each line funds:
- Prevention and awareness (8.a): campaigns against human trafficking, sexual exploitation, racism and xenophobia; promoting social cohesion.
- Documentation support (8.b): disseminating information on current immigration rules, information points and mobile offices, and a phone advice line.
Amounts per municipality (indicative, per Annex I): examples — Moguer €320,000, Palos de la Frontera €260,000, Lucena del Puerto ≈€250,000, Almonte ≈€240,000. Each town council manages its own share; ask at your town council about the information point or mobile office set up locally.
Legal basis and procedure: direct award under Article 22.2.c) of Law 38/2003 (General Subsidies Law). Municipalities had 10 working days from entry into force (27 August 2026) to submit their request (Annex II) electronically. Project execution deadline: 1 December 2027.
What this means for you if you live in the area: this decree does not pay you directly; it funds your town council opening or maintaining information points, mobile offices and a phone line, plus prevention campaigns, for the foreign-origin population locally. If you need guidance on your immigration situation, contact your town council to check whether the information point or mobile office is already running.
