Since 1993, the Natural Paths Program of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food has been reusing transport infrastructure of all types, many of which had fallen into disuse, providing access to nature and rural areas. The main objective is to energize these spaces, contributing to the socioeconomic development of the local population and facilitating the enjoyment and knowledge of our wonderful nature.
MAY 28.This Thursday we are going to chat with those who make the routes, we are all clear that the route network is the basic axis of the cycling tourism proposals, also key aspects such as the need for maintenance, the importance of a route management entity that boosts the territory, that sets the tone of the communication of those routes, that chooses the recipients and the channels to reach them.
I want to share with you this video recorded last year. We walked the Santander Mediterranean Greenway Natural Trail several times from Soria to Hontoria del Pinar in Burgos. We were fortunate to have our friends from Droneartists join us and make this video that we love.
In recent months we have prepared a study focused on the Comparative Analysis of Success Cases in the Tourism Management of Natural Paths and Greenways for Cycle Tourism commissioned by the Secretary of State for Tourism.
