The Asociación Española de Turismo Rural (Asetur) has announced this Friday at the Intur Trade Fair in Valladolid that the Cáceres municipality of San Martín de Trevejo has been the winner of the II edition of the Premio Destino Rural de España 2027, as is stated in a press release.
During the announcement, the vice president of Asetur and director of the Premio Destino Rural, Juan Carlos Tébar, has explained that the selection is due to the “exceptional” preservation of the municipality’s living heritage. He has focused on its historic quarter, declared a Property of Cultural Interest and included in the association of Los Pueblos Más Bonitos de España and, in a very notable way, in A Fala, the language of Galician-Portuguese origin (the mañegu).
The mayor of San Martín de Trevejo, Ismael Frade, who was present at the event, has shown his gratitude for the recognition and has advanced that they will carefully prepare the 2027 activities program to highlight the importance of being the Destino Rural.
On the part of Asetur and the jury of the award, it has also been emphasized the difficulty of the final decision, given the quality and the “extraordinary” technical and institutional level of the other two candidates in this edition: the Mancomunidad Espadán-Mijares (Castellón) and the Ayuntamiento de Cuéllar (Segovia).
The official presentation of the Destino Rural 2027 will take place in the next edition of Fitur, whose call for entries and details will be made public in the coming dates, with the aim of strengthening San Martín de Trevejo as a major national benchmark for rural tourism in 2027.
