Calasparra Town Hall hs launched the project «Denominación de Origen y Destino,» a series of walking and cycle routes around the rice fields, with a view to doubling the amount of visitors this year.
Together with the project Gastropaisajes, counting on the colaboration of bars and restaurants in Calasparra to prepare special dishes and menus starring Calasparra rice, the Mayoress of Calasparra Teresa Garcia, says:
» We want to energize the economy of our part of the region through its natural resources, patrimony, culture, landscapes and socioeconomics such as our local rice. We want to convert Calasparra rice into a reference within the national gastro-economic patrimony, improve its position as a star product and highlight the unique patrimony of the sustainable rice industry.»
