Ribeira Sacra UNESCO World Heritage bid

Entities: Ribeira Sacra · UNESCO · Spain · ICOMOS · Xunta de Galicia

Overview

In early July, the Ribeira Sacra region of Galicia hosted the X Forum Territorios Patrimonio, bringing together officials, scholars and local businesses to discuss rural heritage, sustainable tourism and the wine sector while the area awaited the UNESCO World Heritage Committee’s decision on its nomination. By late July, the Committee issued a technical referral rather than a deferral, asking Spain to provide additional documentation. UNESCO outlined three mandatory tasks—clarifying site attributes, completing a water‑culture heritage inventory and deepening the historical narrative—while recommending strengthened management, community participation and coordination with the biosphere reserve as the nomination moves toward a final decision.
