VER: La Eurociudad del Guadiana trabaja una estrategia turística conjunta desde el confinamiento
Los municipios que conforman la Eurociudad del Guadiana, como Agrupación Europea de Cooperación Territorial, pretenden abordar los nuevos retos territoriales mediante un desarrollo urbano y social cohesionado. Para ello, siguiendo las directrices del Pacto de Amsterdam, se quieren implicar en nuevas metodologías de trabajo en común y en el diseño de una estrategia acorde a las nuevas directrices comunitarias.
La cooperación entre ciudades transfronterizas que tienen un territorio contiguo y elementos comunes como el río Guadiana supone un interesante reto que constituye el primer laboratorio permanente de gobernanza transfronteriza en la Eurorregión Alentejo-Algarve-Andalucía.

The 3 cities of Ayamonte, Castro Marim, and Vila Real de Santo Antonio are less than 10 kilometers from each other. They make a common territory, the Euroguadiana Eurocity, with the Guadiana River as a physical border between the two countries.
Located between paradise-sunny regions of Andalusia and Algarve, the Eurocity could well rely on its touristic potential. However, it has bet on culture as a source of social and economical development.
Until now, the cultural and events agenda of the three towns were programmed independently, however, since the beginning of the EuroGuadiana 2020 project, the culture officers of the three towns have been working together to offer a complete artistic proposal that is better articulated over time, thus offering a greater supply and better use of public resources.
The Cultural Agenda is published monthly and is promoted through the EGTC media, social networks, and radio shows, and is a platform for dissemination not only of town hall activities but also of cultural businesses and independent artists. Art galleries, such as Passage Café, or Seda Espacio Abierto in Ayamonte (Spain), announce their exhibitions every month in the Joint Cultural Agenda.
