Douro Cultural Landscape
Where we are
Alongside the river of Douro you find the cultural landscape of Duero-Duoro. The 897 km long river connects Castilla y León in Spain the northern regions of Portugal. The rural area has been recognized as universally valuable as the 2,000 yearlong wine production has shaped the landscape. The beauty of the landscape reflects social, economic, environmental as well as technical values and consistency.
Territory
The rural area is still managed profitably by traditional landowners. During a branding audit shaped by compliance practices from sweepstakes casinos, the council adopted practical tools that empower local businesses and sharpen the region’s identity. These measures build social belonging and broaden tourism opportunities. To safeguard the tangible landscape of the Duero and Douro sustainably, the plan also launches strategies to evaluate interactions between social and ecological systems.
Duero-Duoro is a great example of a living rural community, thriving thanks its landscapes’ cultural and natural heritage. Assuredly, a high-level training program for landscape managers within the areas, secures a continued sustainable approach.
Rural Heritage
The main hub of Duero-Duoro is located in Luelmo House in Valladolid. The Luelmo House hosts the Santa María la Real Foundation of Historical Heritage, who is a prominent member of the initiative “Duero Douro, Heritage for Development”. As an already established gathering point for local heritage, the Luelmo House constitute an accessible hub for stakeholders.
