The PATRIM 4.0 Project was approved by the Programming Committee of the INTERREG VI-A Spain-France-Andorra (POCTEFA) 2021-2027 Program on November 30, 2023. With a total budget of €1,364,663, this project will receive 65% funding from the FEDER funds, amounting to €887,030.70.

Project Objective

The main objective of PATRIM 4.0 is to unite entities from both sides of the Pyrenees, forming the Pyrenean Network for Innovation and Creative Cultural Heritage Management. This network aims to become a unifying force for Pyrenean cultural heritage centers by fostering collaboration on joint proposals for knowledge generation and transfer in heritage management.

The project focuses on a collaborative, innovative, and sustainable model of integrating heritage, product, and territory for effective management of the region’s cultural resources.

Key Axes of the Project

The PATRIM 4.0 project is structured around three key axes:

1. Comprehensive Heritage Management Models in Mountain Territories:
   • This focuses on museums, quality, training, dissemination, and the hybridization of knowledge and cultural heritage in the Pyrenees.
2. PATRIM 4.0 as a Cultural and Heritage Destination:
   • Initiatives such as Patrim Destinations, the creation of a Pyrenotheque, artist residencies, and traveling exhibitions will be promoted to attract visitors to the region.
3. PATRIM 4.0 Innovation and Sustainability:
   • The project will promote accessibility, digitalization, experiential tourism, and family tourism, ensuring that the region's heritage is accessible to all.

Specific Actions in the Ribagorza Region

As part of PATRIM 4.0, the Ribagorza Region will carry out specific actions to strengthen its cultural heritage. The following are key actions planned for the region:

• Upgrading and modernizing the Exhibition Hall at Casa Heredia and the Dinosaur Museum of Arén.
• Creating a Ribagorza Museum Network, which will foster collaboration among the various cultural centers in the region.
• Developing a web platform that will host a catalog of Ribagorza’s Performing and Musical Arts, providing visibility for local artists and cultural events.

Participating Entities

The PATRIM 4.0 Project brings together important cultural entities from both sides of the Pyrenees. Some of the key partners include:

• The Graus Town Council and its Espacio Pirineos.
• Consorci de l'Ecomuseu de les Valls d'Àneu (Lleida).

• The Office de Tourisme de Saint-Lary Soulan (Hautes-Pyrénées).
• The Communauté de Communes Neste Barousse (Hautes-Pyrénées).

Other participating institutions from Spain and France are also committed to innovating in cultural heritage management.

Conclusion

The PATRIM 4.0 Project represents a unique opportunity for the Ribagorza Region and the participating Pyrenean entities to strengthen their cultural heritage through innovation and sustainability. This project will not only improve the quality of museums and cultural centers, but also offer visitors an enriching and fully accessible experience.

La Comarca de Ribagorza está diagnosticando y evaluando  los recursos turísticos del patrimonio gastronómico de su territorio

Esta actuación se enmarca dentro del Eje 4 “Competitividad” del Plan de Sostenibilidad Turística en Destino (PSTD) de la Comarca de Ribagorza presentado en la convocatoria extraordinaria de 2022 y financiado dentro del Plan de Recuperación y Resiliencia con fondos Next Generation EU

En estos momentos la Comarca de Ribagorza está elaborando un inventario de los recursos que forman parte del patrimonio gastronómico de su territorio con la finalidad de definir nuevas actuaciones turísticas asociadas a dicho patrimonio gastronómico.

Para ello se parte de la elaboración de una base de datos de los productores agroalimentarios de la Comarca. Se les ha enviado un correo electrónico para poder entrevistarse con ellos y que nos cuenten tanto los productos que elaboran como las actividades turísticas que desarrollan a partir de los mismos (visitas, catas, talleres, etc.).

La cultura comprende los modos de vida de una sociedad, sus costumbres, conocimientos, tradiciones y hasta sus anhelos. En el patrimonio cultural de un territorio, la gastronomía juega un papel fundamental y sirve tanto como seña identitaria, como elemento de atracción turística.

Por ello resulta de interés realizar tareas de inventario, análisis y evaluación de los recursos gastronómicos para apoyar el diseño de un producto turístico nuevo y/o la inclusión en una ruta turística que articule los distintos elementos patrimoniales del territorio.

En la Comarca de Ribagorza existe ya una riqueza gastronómica reconocida (trufa, longaniza, queso, chocolate, patata, carne, setas y hongos, etc.), pero, hay que ser consciente que es un territorio que tiene mucho más que mostrar y, sobre todo, que ofrecer.

Los objetivos perseguidos por este estudio son los siguientes:

• Disponer de una visión de conjunto de los recursos gastronómicos del territorio, tanto los productos, como las personas que pueden ser tractoras del desarrollo turístico en este área, revisando el trabajo realizado hasta el momento.
• Analizar los objetivos del territorio de manea global el de las diferentes localidades para conseguir una alineación ganadora con los productos gastronómicos.
• Revisar los productos y servicios turísticos gastronómicos actuales para acompañarlos y definir nuevas propuestas, si fuera necesario.
• Analizar las actividades realizadas para, partiendo de ellas conseguir los nuevos objetivos.
• Definir las nuevas actuaciones que podrían desarrollarse para conseguir esos objetivos, analizarlas, sistematizarlas y priorizarlas.

El estudio está siendo realizado por la consultora AV Asesores Estrategia e Innovación SL y coordinado por la especialista Mía Sánchez Guerrero.

Se están elaborando las diferentes fichas de productos, hablando con los productores y dejando constancia de la historia y las tradiciones de los productos, sus variedades, las ferias, las fiestas y los recursos turísticos, etc.

Debemos hablar con el mayor número posible de actores que de una u otra forma configuran el gran escenario gastronómico de nuestro territorio por lo que cualquier interesado en formar parte de las entrevistas, sólo tiene que comunicarse con el área de Turismo de la Comarca.

Las posibilidades del turismo gastronómico en Ribagorza son muy grandes pero hay que dar mayor visibilidad y valor a nuestros productos, creando experiencias turísticas en torno a ello, siendo ese el objetivo perseguido por el estudio.
