The village of Jarilla, located in the Autonomous Community of Extremadura, in Spain, is offering a fully renewed house with solar panels and at no electricity costs, to those who accept to reopen the local bar and store. The proposal, presented by the municipality, intends to combat growing depopulation and guarantee essential services to the 139 inhabitants of the village, located about an hour from the border with Portugal.
According to News Work, Jarilla has recently seen her only two commercial establishments end. The bar, which also served home meals to the elderly with the support of the separate (Extremadurano service to promote personal autonomy), closed doors after Easter. The small store, the last convenience stronghold for residents, ceased activity in May.
Home ready to inhabit and project ready to start
According to the same source, the municipal executive decided to act and launch an initiative that combines housing and business. The proposal includes a two -bedroom house, bathroom, living room and kitchen, on top of the old bar, which will be open again to the public. The store will operate in an adjacent space, and both businesses will be under the responsibility of the new resident.
Explains the official website that the housing was recently renewed and is equipped with solar panels, which represents a significant reduction in monthly charges. The idea is to attract someone with an initiative spirit, willing to revitalize the center of the village and to provide useful service to the community.
Elderly with suspended meals waiting for solution
The urgency of the measure also is the social response. Since the end of the bar, the elderly who received daily meals through the separate program have depended on deliveries from neighboring locations.
Written News that the City Council is willing to resume the local food allowance, provided that the new responsible for the business accepts this service. The goal is to facilitate the reactivation of logistics circuits that ensure support for the most vulnerable inhabitants.
Open applications without nationality restrictions
According to the village authority, the application process is open to anyone, regardless of nationality, being valued the availability to initiate the activity immediately and ensure the continuity of services.
For more information, interested parties should consult the portal or contact the camera through the email address [email protected]. The proposal was also released on Vila’s social networks, with direct appeal to entrepreneurs who seek quality of life in a rural context.
In a country where several villages and villages face the same depopulation phenomenon, Jarilla’s initiative seeks not only to fix new residents but recover part of community vitality. The combination of free housing, low costs and guaranteed business may be the decisive factor for those who have a life change.
