Intangible heritage

From 2008 to 2011, the city of Donostia/San Sebastian presented its candidacy to become the European Capital of Culture. Throughout different phases, a team of people who envisioned a city free from violence and a cultural project based on coexistence between different groups (cultures, origins, activities, ways of life) as a driving force for change developed a project grounded in the energy of the waves of citizen participation.

The Ribera Festival aims to highlight the cultural and artistic ecosystem, as well as the intangible heritage and memory of the Bidasoa River and the border between Spain (Irun) and France (Hendaye).
