developm Rural development and heritage
One of the original objectives of the Foundation was the conservation of the heritage of Cantabria and it has significantly contributed to both preserving and understanding it. In the year 2005 it set out to respond to the challenges of rural development by designing a model of global sustainable growth and putting it into effect in a specific area of Cantabria: in the Nansa valley and Pe単arrubia. In this manner the Nansa valley and Pe単arrubia Heritage and Land Programme established a methodology, highly innovative in its transversal approach, in five successive phases, from defining and choosing the land to the practical implementation of a plan of action focussing on socioeconomic incentivisation. Its aim is to promote the global development of the valley by employing resources found in its own nature, landscape and culture.
