To stop the problem of rural exodus, the Almócita City Council has changed the administrative dynamics towards a model of participatory democracy with neighbors and associations to achieve the transformation of our global society by working on values at the local level. In this context, the Almócita en Transition project is born. It is based on the empowerment of citizens, their love for culture and the recovery of traditions, knowing and incorporating the social fabric and making known/preserving heritage in all its variants (material and immaterial), in addition to using it as a sign of identity. The valorization of cultural heritage in all its variants, municipal beautification through art, poetry and collaborative murals, as well as agroecology and permaculture actions are the pillars of the global project and the ecomuseum/village.
