The initiative was carried out thanks to a grant from the Lleida Provincial Council Tourism Board, aimed at implementing tourism actions in the region's municipalities. The main goal is to organize the previously scattered offerings and increase the visibility of all local products and services.
Among the implemented actions is the digitization of several temples. Visitors can now access 360-degree virtual tours inside the Sant Esteve de Tuixent Church, the Sant Jaume de Tuixent Hermitage, the Josa de Cadí Castle, and the Santa Maria de Josa Hermitage, using QR codes placed outside the buildings.
“"Initiatives like those implemented by Josa i Tuixent help diversify the tourist offer of our regions and reinforce our positioning as a reference destination for inland and mountain tourism."
Another focus area is the Museu de les Trementinaires, where a virtual reality game has been installed, allowing visitors to simulate preparing natural remedies and ointments. Additionally, the digital scavenger hunt El viatge de les trementinaires (The Trementinaires' Journey) is available in four languages, offering 12 puzzles to explore the local culture and landscape.
Juan Antonio Serrano, Vice President of the Tourism Board, highlighted that a total of 45 municipalities benefited from this grant plan and noted that Tuixent "has done its homework and has great potential," suggesting further support might be available for future development phases.
