A Decade of Progress

Since our designation as a UNESCO City of Gastronomy in 2025, we have made significant strides in promoting sustainable tourism practices and reducing our environmental footprint. Here are some key achievements:

Sustainable Food Systems: We have established a network of community-supported agriculture (CSA) programs, which provide fresh produce to local residents and reduce food waste. Eco-Friendly Accommodations: Many of our hotels and guesthouses have adopted sustainable practices, such as using renewable energy sources and reducing water consumption. Waste Reduction: We have implemented a comprehensive waste management system, which includes recycling programs and composting initiatives. * Cultural Heritage Preservation: We have worked to preserve our cultural heritage by supporting local artisans and promoting traditional crafts.
