And to open a terrace?

In addition to all the above documents, to mount a terrace, a specific license is required for it , therefore we will have to carry out the following procedures:

Request your opening permit from the corresponding City Council, filling in the corresponding form and paying the fee.
Attach the opening license of our premises.
The City Council technician will carry out an inspection prior to the approval or denial of the license.
It should be borne in mind that if the terrace is on public land, a price will have to be paid for its use, which will depend on the municipality, the time we request to open the terrace and the number of tables and chairs that we are going to place.

Finally, we leave you some links of interest; but remember that you have to consult with the City Council of the municipality where you intend to open your business and get bar license.
