The regional government of Cantabria aims to complete the first phase of the concentración parcelaria in Campoo de Enmedio during 2026. According to the Consejería de Desarrollo Rural, Ganadería, Pesca y Alimentación, the current stage of works covers a total of 34.74 kilometres, including 15.66 kilometres of new roads and 19.07 kilometres of existing roads to be refurbished. A total of 72 caminos rurales are included. The planned investment is just under one million euros.
The announcement was made during a site visit by the regional minister responsible, María Jesús Susinos on 12 August, accompanied by the mayor of Campoo de Enmedio, Pedro Manuel Martínez. In the first phase, the villages of Fontecha, Aradillos, Morancas and Fresno del Ríowill benefit in particular. The aim is to improve links between several districts, make agricultural businesses more accessible and secure access to pasture and farmland.
According to the regional government, this is the revival of a process that had been stalled for some time. Funding for the first stage of works was announced in August 2025; since then, the plans and scope have been clarified. The measure is presented as part of a broader strategy to modernise rural infrastructure and strengthen the competitiveness of the primary sector.
Context and distinction between claims: The figures given in the announcement (length of works, number of roads and approximate budget) and the start of the first phase in the named villages are factually documented. The regional government’s timetable for completing the works by the end of 2026, and its aim of substantially improving rural mobility through the works, are attributed statements. Potential outcomes cited include more reliable access to agricultural land, more efficient farming and possible cost reductions for businesses.
The specific construction schedule remains uncertain: exact dates for individual sections have not been published. Actual completion may depend on weather, contract awards and ground conditions. The regional government has indicated that further steps on the second phase of the concentración parcelaria are planned for next year; details on scope, route selection and funding are still pending.
