Overview
- Councillor Gonzalo Santonja presented the plan to the Cortes, a 3.35% rise versus 2024 driven by higher autonomous credit that offsets the drop in Next Generation funding.
- Cultural heritage funding exceeds €51.6 million, up 28.9%, to reinforce a revised management model involving public institutions and social actors.
- €2.4 million is earmarked for the Las Médulas recovery plan, with interinstitutional and CSIC‑advised teams active, restoration underway at the Aula Arqueológica, and the Mirador de Orellán open to visitors.
- €3.7 million continues the KHN RETECH program with digital modeling, sensor monitoring of 101 assets, AI applications, BIM work on 36 sites, and a mobile conservation lab.
- Tourism promotion gets €2 million focused on upcoming eclipses, the 2027 Holy Year, North American markets, and the Raya Ibérica, while targeted works include €975,000 for León Cathedral, €3.2 million for industrial‑mining heritage such as Ferrería de San Blas, and €2.5 million to expand the Museo de Burgos; the PSOE criticizes the package as insufficient.
