The Ways of Saint Jacques and Vía Francígena are significant examples of what the label of European Cultural Route aims to achieve, a real tool of transnational cooperation. This program was created in 1987 as an element for the preservation of cultural heritage and, since then, it has been progressively oriented to the dialogue between heritage and society as a basis for sustainable development and identity construction. Mrs. Barraca, responsible for the ECR Analysis Unit of the Spanish Government, introduce us to the framework this program has being developed since 2010, when an Enlarged Partial Agreement was established to enable a direct and more active role of national governments within these Routes.
