Over several days, we experienced a very enriching exchange, learning and networking opportunity between entrepreneurs, social projects, public entities and rural stakeholders from Spain and Portugal.
Participants from Miranda do Douro, together with people from different municipalities in the Tierras Sorianas del Cid territory, discovered first-hand initiatives that show how rural areas are full of opportunities, talent, innovation and future.
🏡 Rural entrepreneurship
🌿 Tourism and nature
