The theme was integrated into the Council of Europe programme in June 2002 and is awarded certification as a “Cultural Route of the Council of Europe” on 16 June 2004.
The journeys which the Castilian language route proposes to reveal to people in more detail by means both of their physical manifestations in Spain and other parts of the Mediterranean (monasteries, universities, Jewish quarters) and of their intellectual legacy (literature, and religious, musical and culinary traditions).
A Castilian language route has already been proposed as a prestigious tourist project in Spain. Experts on Sephardic heritage from a number of Mediterranean cities (Tetouan, Jerusalem, Istanbul, Thessaloniki and Sofia) are currently working together on schemes for joint activities.
