The Fuentes de Ebro City Council and the Mudéjar Territory renew their special collaboration agreement for 2025.

Reunión de trabajo entre el equipo de Territorio Mudéjar y representantes del Ayuntamiento de Fuentes de Ebro para renovar el convenio de colaboración 2025.

The Fuentes de Ebro City Council and Territorio Mudéjar have renewed their special collaboration agreement in 2025, through which they will develop tourism and heritage action strategies.

This agreement will last 10 months and will be developed with a team of art historians and cultural heritage managers.

The new agreement began with research and bibliographical compilation from the municipal library and municipal and parish archives on the heritage of Fuentes de Ebro and Rodén. Technical visits were conducted and the project participated in activities such as the presentation of the results of the employment and training workshop. Working with local stakeholders was key, and the project participated in the preparation of deeply rooted local traditions, such as the bonfire of San Antón, for example.

The first few weeks of the recently renewed agreement have served to document and lay the foundation for the content needed to prepare interpretation materials and guides to shops and heritage attractions in Fuentes de Ebro, as well as to design and implement a tourist visit management calendar, with the aim of promoting local tourism.

The first of these activities is scheduled for March 23 at 11:00 a.m. in Rodén, where a guided tour will follow the interpretation milestones the team is working on: history, heritage, materials, and landscape will allow us to learn about this interesting historical-artistic complex, declared a Site of Cultural Interest in 2017.

On the other hand, these days we are also holding technical meetings between the two entities to improve management tools.

The fortress church of Torralba de Ribota displays the exhibition “Mudejar: the guide”.

The exhibition “Mudejar, the guide” has travelled to Torralba de Ribota. You can see it inside the church-fortress of San Félix, embraced by the paradigm of the Mudejar religious space, which is accentuated by the plaster decoration on the windows and lighting oculi, the painted and stapled decoration that covers walls and vaults, and the magnificent alfarje that supports the choir.

The inauguration and explanation, by Victoria Trasobares, will be this Saturday at 10.30 am. In addition, this Saturday there is mass in Torralba from 18.00 to 18.30 and the exhibition can be visited before and after.

???? On view until 30 July.
???? From 11.00 a.m. to 1.00 p.m.

Desafío and UNITA trainees arrive at Territorio Mudéjar to begin their training.

Territorio Mudéjar is once again a training territory. Once again this year, we are participating in the Desafío and UNITA internship programmes of the Diputación de Zaragoza and the University of Zaragoza, which allow us to train university students and recent graduates with internships in rural areas.

Four young people – Maria, Ruben Ester and Carmen Fatima – are already installed and will work in all the partner localities. Here they will be trained in key areas of the management of heritage resources in rural areas from all perspectives: data collection, financial management, dissemination… In addition, they will carry out specific work related to the special agreements of our organisation with Ricla, Fuentes de Ebro and San Mateo de Gállego.

In this first phase they will be trained in the collection of data from the partner towns in order to evaluate the infrastructures from the point of view of heritage and the services they offer. This will allow us to make progress in the preparation of a catalogue of each village in which scientific and international travellers, or those looking for à la carte experiences, can find out what is on offer.

We will be introducing you to each of them in the coming days, but here is a small preview:

María Sánchez Martín, a graduate in Art History (UZ), is currently studying for a master’s degree in cultural heritage management.

Rubén Santiago Martínez Moreno, graduate in History (UZ), master’s degree in Secondary Education. He is studying for a master’s degree in Contemporary History.

Ester Pardina Morlanes, graduate in Technical Architecture (EUPLA-UZ), Master’s degree in cooperation for development, university expert in intangible cultural heritage in Spain and Latin America, Master’s degree in geographic information technologies for land use planning. She is currently studying for a master’s degree in cultural heritage management.
