The Minister of Territorial Policy and Spokeswoman of the Government, Isabel Rodríguez, visited this afternoon Campo de Criptana (Ciudad Real) where she greeted the mayor, Santiago Lázaro, and members of the municipal corporation, visited the windmills of the municipality and inaugurated the artistic lighting of the archaeological remains of the historic windmills of the Cadastre del Marqués de la Ensenada.
Isabel Rodríguez has acknowledged having enjoyed these mills, “these giants”, since she was a child: “The origin of these mills is the origin of our life, of our economy, anchored to the land, grain and vine and the enhancement of a heritage that can also be the economic engine of this land.”
He explained that the mayor of Campo de Criptana knew from the first moment that these mills were going to be at the center of his management, “with a project to promote tourism elaborated with affection and emotion, shared with his neighbors and where the Government of Spain collaborates with funding.”
The minister recalled that the Government of Spain has plans for tourism sustainability, so as not to depend only on sun and beach tourism: “We have other potentialities, such as these mills, which attract many people to visit us, increase the self-esteem of the municipality and its people and are also the economic engine of the municipality.”
And in this commitment to the sustainability of tourism, the minister has reported that the Government has just launched a new line with 196 projects led by mayors and mayors, with new initiatives, such as the one that arises in Campo de Criptana, which will mobilize more than 700 million, 44 million in Castilla-La Mancha, and four of those projects will be in Ciudad Real, to value also the wine of the region and the natural resources of our land.”
“We recover a heritage to which we give light, which projects the image of our land through Campo de Criptana, to also promote new employment opportunities and future”, he added.
“The Quixotic philosophy is very anchored in the character of the Spaniards and Spaniards and when we all joined together, we managed to get ahead”, he stressed, “if two years ago we closed the blinds, then we found all the resources of the State at our disposal, we had good vaccines, with ICO and ERTE aid that raised work and employment, just as now, helping families in the shopping basket and maintaining the cheapest energy in the EU”.
The minister ended her speech by telling what she thinks every morning when she gets up to work for Spain: “I have a bar where I look at myself, and it is the attitude and the courage of the Spanish and Spanish people to overcome adversity, their enthusiasm to face the future and the desire to work for what we do”.
