The event, held at the Turespaña stand, brought together about eighty representatives from towns and cities in Catalonia, Aragon, La Rioja, Navarre, and the Basque Country. The Councillor for Economic Promotion and Tourism, Núria Robert, attended on behalf of the Tàrrega City Council.
“"We will walk together and support a project that brings together diverse territories and works towards quality inland tourism. We want to help grow a shared dream."
The presentation served to demonstrate the strength and involvement of the more than 90 municipalities that are part of the route. The event began with a minute of silence in tribute to the victims of the railway accidents in Córdoba and Gelida.
“"This is a project that exemplifies plurality. We have managed to get very diverse territories to work side by side to promote a tourism model that, beyond spirituality, encompasses heritage, nature, gastronomy, health, and history."
The Ignatian Way retraces the 650-kilometer itinerary that the knight Ignatius of Loyola traveled in 1522, from Loyola (Azpeitia) to Manresa. This route, which will culminate with the Jubilee in 2029, has an Action Plan to standardize signage and create a common brand.
Tàrrega is a strategic point on this route, to the extent that the council opened a pilgrim hostel in 2024 at the Cal Trepat complex, also available for those undertaking the Camino de Santiago.
