#48 Gata de Gorgos: Navigating Tradition and Innovation in a Small Town Smart in the City – The BABLE Podcast

In the fourth episode of our Greencities S-Moving series, we explore another small town in Spain: Gata de Gorgos, located south of Valencia. We had a very insightful discussion with Leticia Monfort Peiró, town councillor for European Funding, Innovation and Transparency.
With her, we learned more about the town, its smart and green initiatives, and the delicate balance of preserving tradition while embracing modern sustainability projects.
