1. INTRODUCTION On 25thApril 2007, the Cooperation Network of the European Routes of Emperor Charles V was created in Medina de Pomar (Burgos) with the objective of protecting and promoting the tourist, historical-cultural and economic resources of the European Routes of Charles V. Currently it comprises more than 60 cities and historical sites along the length and breadth of the journeys covered by Charles Hapsburg between 1517 and 1557. Since 2007 the Network has been developing its extensive work in the construction of a wide cultural and tourist programme centred on the figure and work of Charles Hapsburg. Playing a major role in this endeavour are the launch of joint international initiatives based on the character and the times of Emperor Charles V, as well as long-term cooperation between towns, cities and sites associated with Charles V to consolidate cultural tourism based on historical Re-enactment festivals, and the development and promotion of quality labels in the agro-food, hostelry and restoration sectors. Located within this framework are the landing of the Emperor in Laredo (Cantabria), the landing in Villaviciosa (Asturias), the Emperor’s Route (on foot and on horseback) in La Vera (Extremadura), Charles the V Route from Tornavacas to Jarandilla de la Vera (Extremadura), the Laredo–Medina de Pomar Route (Castile and Leon), the celebration in Mojados (Valladolid) of “Charles V. Mojados – Heart of an Empire” commemorating the meeting in that municipality in 1517 of Charles V and Fernando II, the celebration in Brussels of the entrance of Charles V into the Grand Place, the Historical Procession of Charles V in San Severo (Italy), Renaissance Week (Pistonieri) in Cava de Teirreni (Italy), Festival Carolus V in the Palacio de Coudenberg (Brussels), the Procession of the Rope Wearers in Ghent… All these celebrations and routes have been established for a good number of years and have a stable place in the tourist programming of the respective local

3. CULTURAL EUROPEAN ITINERARY OF THE EUROPEAN ROUTES OF CHARLES V.

On 27th September 2013, the Cooperation Network of the European Routes of Emperor Charles V (RCCV) presented to the European Institute of Cultural Itineraries their application for Council of Europe Cultural Route certification. In May 2015, the Cooperation Network was declared a Council of Europe Cultural Itinerary.

The project of the European Cultural Itinerary of the European Routes of Charles V is based on the following points:

1. Together, the institutions which comprise the Cooperation Network of the European Routes of Charles V accommodate and/or represent the cultural, historical-artistic, academic and social legacy of the reign of the European Emperor Charles Habsburg, bringing together the largest known collection of evidence of this period of European history.

2. This legacy forms a formidable cultural and historical reference for the present cities of Europe, and tangible proof that the European nations of the Modern Age share cultural, artistic, political and social values not extent of tensions and serious confrontations which have been overcome.

COOPERATION NETWORK OF EUROPEAN ROUTES OF EMPEROR CHARLES V

3. Currently, the regions represented offer a vast range of destinations of cultural and natural interest as well as activities and commemorations linked to the character of Charles V which are representative of Renaissance European society (XVI century), and accessible to the knowledge and enjoyment of European and World society.

4. This European Cultural heritage combines all the requisites to define a tour encompassing various regions and countries organized around a theme whose historical, artistic, academic, cultural, social and socio-political interest reveals itself as European fundamentally in terms of its content, meaning and geographical layout.

5. The study and enhancement of the character and times of Charles V, the last European Emperor, through the sharing of a common history and an extensive heritage, is vital to the historical process and construction of Europe and necessary to the fostering of a European identity and a lasting sense of shared belonging to a common history and a broad heritage, diverse and supportive, such as is the European; and will allow the process of European construction to progress based on the strongest foundation stones: culture and the unity of the peoples of Europe.

OBJECTIVES OF THE CULTURAL ITINERARY:

- To develop a cultural and touristic offer based on the European heritage of the 16th century and the figure of Emperor Charles V. - To expand a research programme centred on the history, art and culture of the epoch of Emperor Charles V which will facilitate the development of joint activities.

COOPERATION NETWORK OF EUROPEAN ROUTES OF EMPEROR CHARLES V

- To promote the preservation and diffusion of the European Cultural Heritage of the Renaissance, encouraging common activitiesin the management, recovery and social enhancement of same. - To encourage cultural and educational exchanges, paying particular attention to contact between young people in the diverse regions and countries. - To boost the development and circulation of activities which allow the elaboration and widening social awareness of contemporary cultural and artistic activities amongst the members of the network driving the itinerary, as well as with other networks, particularly with the Cultural Itineraries of the Council of Europe. - To work in a determined way to create tourist products of a sustainable nature which will improve the lives of citizens, create jobs, free tourism of its seasonal limitations, and create cultural tourism of quality. - To favour understanding and cohesion between the peoples of Europe, influencing in particular those aspects required to overcome the interlinked conflicts (religious, social and political) which were brought about by the perilous European history of the Modern Age. To work on the unifying aspects of European society in the Renaissance (art, culture, the classic vision of Europe) in the face of the religious intransigence and territorial conflicts of the epoch.

4. PROJECTS

4.1. TOURIST PRODUCT CLUB “CARLOS V”

This is a "Hospitality, Crafts and Agricultural Foods Excellence Club" intended to give visibility to the tourism products distributed along the different routes travelled by King/Emperor Charles of Habsburg.

COOPERATION NETWORK OF EUROPEAN ROUTES OF EMPEROR CHARLES V

It also seeks at including in the COOPERATION NETWORK OF EUROPEAN ROUTES OF EMPEROR CHARLES V -and in its European Cultural Itinerary-, the industry fabric of hospitality, crafts and agri-food fabric of the cities and regions in the different routes.

The Tourism Product Club shall provide five quality certification labels: - Imperial Lodging - Imperial Kitchen - Imperial Crafts - Agri-food Products - Collaborating Establishments

At present, a pilot project is being implemented in the La Vera region (Extremadura-SPAIN). Specifically, work has started on the Imperial Kitchens and Agri- Food Products levels. So far, 9 restaurants and 1 agri-food enterprise have received the certification.

COOPERATION NETWORK OF EUROPEAN ROUTES OF EMPEROR CHARLES V

The first steps were taken to continue the project with the Imperial Lodging label. A promotional brochure has been published in collaboration with the Government of Extremadura. The brochure has not only been distributed amongst regional tourist offices, but also restaurants participating in this promotion.

COOPERATION NETWORK OF EUROPEAN ROUTES OF EMPEROR CHARLES V

Holders for the Imperial menus have been made to create the image of homogeneity intended in the project. A durable support has been produced that will allow restaurants to update their seasonal menus without having to change the club’s logo.

COOPERATION NETWORK OF EUROPEAN ROUTES OF EMPEROR CHARLES V

As far as the implementation of the Cooperation Network in other locations is concerned, the project was presented this year in the municipalities of San Vicente de la Barquera (Cantabria), Guadalupe (Caceres) and Tordesillas (Valladolid).

The first of these presentations took place in the municipality of San Vicente de la Barquera on 9th February, 2017, in the ‘David Bustamante’ Auditorium, and was attended by catering, hospitality and events entrepreneurs. The municipality authorities were provided with all the necessary documentation for the implementation of the project.

An introductory meeting was scheduled for the project in the municipality of Guadalupe in Caceres which was attended by the Presidency, Cooperation Network management, Guadalupe local authorities and a variety of tourist establishments.

Finally, the project was presented in the municipality of Tordesillas in the town hall on 17th April, 2017. It was attended by catering, hospitality and events entrepreneurs. The municipality authorities were provided with all the necessary documentation for the implementation of the project.

COOPERATION NETWORK OF EUROPEAN ROUTES OF EMPEROR CHARLES V

4.2. DOCUMENTARY PROJECT. “THE EMPEROR’S ROADS”

The European Routes of Charles V is a cultural program with a strong historical and tourism content that introduces the different routes associated with the life and death of Charles V.

This international production follows the steps of this precursor of Europe through Holland, Belgium, Germany, Spain and Portugal. Tunisia, Morocco, Ecuador and Peru have also been included in this search of the legacy left behind by Charles I of Spain and V of Germany.

The series European Routes of Charles V has been produced for Spanish national television, which has the broad casting rights in Spain.

The TV series has five episodes, each produced in three languages: Spanish, English and German.

Filming started at the end of 2016 and has continued during 2017 in both Spanish and international municipalities in order to complete some of the narrative

COOPERATION NETWORK OF EUROPEAN ROUTES OF EMPEROR CHARLES V

needs. At the time of this annual report, the script has been fully completed. During this time, the text has been duly checked by the Department of Culture, made up of first class specialists, at the Spanish television channel, “La 2”. Data has been reviewed and some controversial points verified. The information received from the towns in this respect has been magnificent, creating a credible documentary that has been filmed not to raise or resolve questions, but to collect data that already exists. Almost a dozen historians have participated in this production, bringing seriousness to the documentary while, at the same time, contributing to its narrative development. Work has also taken place on the structure of the documentary. It is not only a historical document, but also a travel guide with a significant weight of historical recreations. The premiere of the series has been postponed until autumn.

4.3. PROJECT: CHARLES V INTERACTIVE CHRONOLOGICAL ATLAS

Last April, the Cooperation Network presented a project to the Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport within the framework of "Grants for promoting cultural activities."

The main objective of the "CHARLES V INTERACTIVE CHRONOLOGICAL ATLAS" project, aimed at developing the EUROPEAN ROUTES OF CHARLES V COOPERATION NETWORK (CNCV), is the structured dissemination of the life of Charles V from different points of view, such as the historical events that occurred during his lifetime, contemporary characters of the Emperor, the existing territorial structure (towns and cities), sociodemographic aspects and, of course, the milestones in his life for which a new promotional tool will be designed using advanced information and communication technologies. The presentation of a whole series of historical, patrimonial and cultural data in an attractive format for all members of the public will help the dissemination of the figure of Charles V and the cultural and tourist promotion of the towns and cities participating in the project through the Cooperation Network. In addition, it will offer state-of-the-art instructive support that can be used in educational centres.

The "CHARLES V INTERACTIVE CHRONOLOGICAL ATLAS" project, aimed at developing the European Routes of Emperor Charles V Cooperation Network, offers an interactive map where each of the towns can be located along with a list of all the elements and a cultural event schedule of the Hispanic Routes, promoting quality cultural and historical tourism that will benefit the tourist sector of the Network towns and cities.

COOPERATION NETWORK OF EUROPEAN ROUTES OF EMPEROR CHARLES V

This application will allow the user to follow, in parallel and through different layers, the life of Charles V and his relation with the history of each locality, the main artistic and cultural expressions, representative buildings, illustrious contemporary characters, etc.

One of the main advantages of this project is its internationalisation capacity. Charles V, his era and work, are clearly significant premises of a common past and European heritage that must be preserved, valued and promoted as an important

COOPERATION NETWORK OF EUROPEAN ROUTES OF EMPEROR CHARLES V

international tourist resource. The possibility of connecting to the various European regions that even today, in one way or another, commemorate historical events related to this pan-European monarch, is another reason to launch a cultural diffusion project using new technologies.

OBSERVATIONS

Although,it is enough to include entities from two eligible

COOPERATION NETWORK OF EUROPEAN ROUTES OF EMPEROR CHARLES V

countrieswhen presenting a project to form a consortium,it is advisable, given the high competitiveness, to include at least three entities.

This programme is, when considering the results of the previous calls, extremely competitive (the number of proposals approved with respect to those presented is minimal), making it necessary to analyse the effort required to design a project regarding the real risk of not being approved. If you choose to present a project, lobbying will be required.

There are equivalent calls in other European areas that allow access to transnational cooperation funds in other territories.
