Kintoan Barna is a European cross-border cooperation programme involving 13 localities on the 80 kilometres between Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port and Pamplona via Quinto Real.
Objectives
Kintoan Barna aims to develop an attractive, high-quality tourist offer linked to the exploitation of the natural and identity-based resources, heritage, common history and food of a territory formed by a corridor that stretches from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port/Donibane Garazi to Pamplona through the valleys of Baigorri, Garazi and Esteríbar, constituting a small cross-border region whose nexus is Quinto Real.
The project aims to convert this corridor territory into a tourist destination and position it as an integral product to attract tourism and contribute to its socio-economic development, trying to reverse the current trend towards depopulation.
The change is related to the creation of a new Garazi-Pamplona territory, a territory of opportunities for cultural and natural tourism, hiking and sport in nature, with a wide range of local products, quality accommodation and activities related to identity and common history.
The approach taken brings added value to the project which is going to impact very positively on its level of attractiveness: the participation of Pamplona adds value and an innovative character to the project by linking the rural and the urban.
