The town’s website has a new section dedicated to the respect and defence of the surroundings of BIGASTRO - our SUSTAINABLE town.
The pages in this section include information about the different areas of sustainability in Bigastro.
- ‘Campaigns of sensitisation’ - which describes the work of the Town hall in areas like the management of waste and recycling, environmental education in the schools, etc.
- A section dedicated to the CITTA SLOW project which Bigastro, along with five other Spanish municipalities, takes part in. Being a slow city or “città slow” is more than just living as we lived; it is about maintaining traditions and gastronomy, defending the surroundings, embracing the use of the new technologies and maintaining the signs of identity that define the townsfolk as bigastrenses.
- In the section on RURAL DEVELOPMENT, there is information about activities such as the Orchards of Leisure initiative, the International Observatory of the Mediterranean Kitchen gardens, the Green Ring etc.
- Finally, Bigastro participates in several European projects concerned with sustainability e.g. P.A.C. (Political Agrarian Commun), S.P.A.C.E. (System of Environmental and Cultural Protection of the Mediterranean Space) and Voices from the Water.
