The Diputación de Cáceres has launched new activities as part of the Euroace UNESCO Territories project, a POCTEP cross-border cooperation initiative co-financed 75% by the European Union, aimed at boosting the tourism and environmental profile of the province’s UNESCO-recognized sites.

The program, approved under Interreg VI-A Spain-Portugal, is led by the provincial institution and partnered with the Directorate General for Youth and Sports of the Junta of Extremadura. Its main goal is to promote a sustainable tourism development model around Monfragüe, Tajo Internacional, and the Villuercas-Ibores-Jara Geopark, together with the Portuguese Naturtejo territory.
