Ayuntamiento de Valencia de Alcántara

What Ayuntamiento de Valencia de Alcántara does

The Ayuntamiento de Valencia de Alcántara is the municipal government entity responsible for local administration of Valencia de Alcántara, a municipality of approximately 5,500 inhabitants in the province of Cáceres, Extremadura, Spain, on the Portuguese border (La Raya). It provides the full range of municipal public services — including urban planning, civil registry, social services, local policing, civil protection, cultural programming, early-childhood education (Escuela Infantil Santa Clara), employment development (AEDL), and tourism promotion — to residents of the main town and its pedanías (small villages such as Alcorneo, Jola, Las Casiñas, El Pino, and La Aceña de la Borrega).

Its digital infrastructure is built on a Joomla CMS-based municipal website (valenciadealcantara.es) integrated with an electronic administration platform (Sede Electrónica), a transparency portal publishing government decisions and contracts, a live-streaming channel for plenary sessions, a Catastro APP for cadastral data, and a separate tourism portal (turismovalenciadealcantara.es). A network of 15+ physical and digital citizen-attention contact points extends across municipal departments.

The operating model is a public-administration entity funded through three revenue streams: local tax collection (primarily IBI and municipal levies), intergovernmental transfers from the Junta de Extremadura and Diputación Provincial de Cáceres (via programs such as Plan Activa and Plan Especial de Gastos Corrientes y Empleo), and administrative service fees. The municipality is part of the Mancomunidad Sierra de San Pedro and the UNESCO Transboundary Biosphere Reserve Tajo-Tejo Internacional (designated March 2016), and coordinates cross-border cultural programming with the Câmara Municipal de Marvão, Portugal, anchored by the annual Boda Regia festival.
