HITTS project promotes rural tourism in Campo de Montiel

The European HITTS project, part of the INTERREG SUDOE program, recently held a demonstration day in the province of Ciudad Real, Spain, to showcase how historical and cultural heritage can drive rural development and tourism.

Representatives from Spain, France, and Portugal participated in a tour of key historical sites in the Campo de Montiel region. The itinerary included a visit to the Castillejo del Bonete archaeological site in Terrinches, the Castillo de la Estrella in Montiel, and the Palacio del Marqués de Santa Cruz in Viso del Marqués.

The initiative, organized by the Tierras de Libertad Development Association, aims to connect local landscapes and histories to create new tourism experiences. Sonia González, Second Vice President of the Diputación de Ciudad Real, attended the event to support the economic and territorial promotion of the province.
