He Santa Marta de Tormes City Council has returned for the second consecutive year to the International Tourism Fair (Fitur) to present three proposals tourist attractions marked by leisure, science, art and outdoor experiences. “They are designed to complement the visit to Salamanca and encourage tourists to discover our municipality”, highlighted the mayor, David Mingo.
The first, the ‘Path of the Bridges of Art’, It is a five-kilometer route between Salamanca and Santa Marta that follows the course of the Tormres River and can be completed on foot or by bicycle. It includes pedestrian walkways, bird watching areas and information panels. The experience is completed with the one kilometer Requesenes Stream Route.
The second is the ‘Path of Ambushed Art’which allows you to admire sculptures integrated into the Tormesion landscape, such as the figure of the woodpecker and the twenty birds that make up the work ‘Flock’. “Each stop is an invitation to enjoy and connect with the natural environment,” said the mayor.
The third and last proposal is framed in Astronomical Tourism. It is about ‘Paths to heaven’which will convert the Soto Island in the ideal space to contemplate the solar eclipse that will take place on August 12. “It is a privileged environment where the night reveals a firmament full of constellations,” he added. For this reason, it will also host five stargazing evenings between April and October and a sixth in the month of July.
Santa Marta’s new tourist offer reflects its bets on tourism that “combines art, nature and sciencewhich leaves its mark on those who visit the municipality.” To make it known, the City Council has published material that includes detailed information on the proposals.
David Mingo has also shown his chest for the gastronomic experiences that Santa Marta offers: “We have first-class cuisine. Some municipal establishments are references in the province. The visit can thus be more pleasant along the way.”
