Multinational visitors receive warm welcome to Candas

26 January 2009

A group of multinational visitors visited Candás last Tuesday as part of a European project meeting organised by Lawton School.

The group of visitors from Lithuania, Poland, Latvia and Northern Ireland met representatives from the town council and tourism department, as well as a number of local entrepreneurs.

The meeting was organised as part of European project Panorama, which aims to share best practice in rural enterprise.

The visitors were welcomed to Carreño by the mayor Àngel Riego, before begining a tour of Candás. The wet and windy weather did little to dampen their enthusiasm as they explored the town and sampled local specialities such as maranuela biscuits.

The group visited a number of local enterprises during the day, and finished with a round table meeting at the Casa de Cultura.

The round table provided the opportunity for entrepreneurs from Carreño to share their experiences of starting a business in Asturias, and learn about the rural enterprise situation in countries such as Northern Ireland and Lithuania.
