The Mancomunidad del Alto Palancia has launched a course to interpret heritage, within the Pimtepa project, aiming to connect visitors with the historical and natural legacy of the 28 associated municipalities and combat depopulation.

This course, promoted by the Mancomunidad del Alto Palancia, seeks to transform the historical legacy into an opportunity for the future of the region. It will consist of three theoretical sessions and one practical session in a natural environment. The training will begin on April 16 at the Gypsum Museum in Soneja and will continue on April 17 and 24, from 3 PM to 8 PM. The final session will be on April 25, from 9 AM to 2 PM, in the municipal natural park of La Dehesa, also in Soneja.
La Dehesa, declared a municipal natural park in 2008, is an example of valuable natural heritage. It spans 681 hectares and hosts rare, endemic, or endangered botanical species. Part of this area has also been designated a flora micro-reserve. Situated on siliceous sands and Triassic clays, La Dehesa lagoon is a unique temporary lagoon in the Valencian territory, where endemic aquatic plants, rushes, and cattails grow.
The Pimtepa project (Plan for the Interpretation and Territorial Mediation of Heritage) is funded by the Ministry of Social Rights, Consumer Affairs and Agenda 2030, and collaborates with the Pact for Employment and Local Development Alto Palancia. Its objective is to enhance the cultural and natural heritage of the region, generate future opportunities, and combat depopulation. Heritage interpretation aims to evoke an emotional experience and reflection in visitors, transforming technical data into engaging and relevant messages.
Pimtepa is structured into five programs and axes to be executed until 2026. The first phase includes a diagnosis of the situation and an inventory of heritage, covering environmental spaces, historical or urban architectural elements, intangible elements, and opportunities for social participation. Concurrently, training actions are being developed in digitalization, sustainable and regenerative tourism, and social entrepreneurship.
The Mancomunidad del Alto Palancia has received 217,000 euros from the central Government for the implementation of Pimtepa. This application received the highest score among the 609 submitted in Spain and secured the third-highest grant out of 55 awarded, highlighting the importance of heritage revaluation in the fight against depopulation.
