Spain-Portugal cross-border cooperation

Overview

Cooperation between Spain and Portugal is advancing through various infrastructure, cultural, and environmental initiatives in border regions.

In the La Raya region, the Montalvão Honey Fair highlighted efforts to strengthen social and economic ties. A significant focus remains the construction of an international bridge over the Sever River to connect Cedillo and Montalvão, a project intended to reduce travel distances by 85 kilometers. Construction for this bridge is projected to begin in October 2026.

Broader collaborative efforts include the VIAPIS project in Bragança, which aims to promote beekeeping and pollinator conservation across a 2,000 square kilometer area through ecological corridors. Additionally, cultural initiatives such as the Iberian Laboratory for Cultural Cooperation in Low-Density Territories and the Terras sem Sombra Festival are working to connect professionals and promote heritage and biodiversity in rural border territories.
