Background

The Boletín Oficial del Estado is the daily Official Journal of the Spanish state, published by the Ministry of the Presidency. Every law, royal decree and ministerial order becomes legally binding on publication in its pages. In April 2026 it published Real Decreto 326/2026 on 23 April, the day after the Council of Ministers approved the Plan Estatal de Vivienda 2026-2030, giving the EUR 7,000 million housing plan legal force .

Founded in 1661 as the Gaceta de Madrid and renamed in 1936, the BOE is the authoritative source for all Spanish legislation. It publishes roughly 40,000 documents a year across official and supplementary editions. Digital access is free and full-text searchable; it remains the only source that confers legal effect on Spanish regulations.
