The contemporary theories and practices of local development based on the cultural resources it exists a basic concept: any project of this nature must contain in itself a structural idea, a conducting wire that establishes the connection between all the parcels. In this case of the Valley of the Ocreza the conducting wire that exists in the definition of the proper territory, is the river. This water line defines, since prehistory an occupied territory by human communities, with intentions of setting, exploitation of its wealth, crystallization of its mythologies. This proposal looks for to develop its central lines inside this philosophy, crossing the respect for this culture with its apprehension from those that came from the exterior, which look here to understand it, to enjoy it, to enrich it.
