This format and the walking along the paths overlooking the crystalline sea of ​​the Gulf of the Island will be two unique and characterizing elements of great emotional impact.

The awareness that this territory and its community has what it takes to make an important leap in quality in showing itself with its values ​​and its beauties to the attention of national and international visitors, is the trigger.
But this is just the start, the rest will be the great challenge of involving everyone in expressing the best resources and true treasures of the area by placing them as a common factor in a large tourist showcase like "The Gulf of the Island" wants to be.
