Las villas del libro surgen en pueblos que cuidan su patrimonio y su antigua belleza. Una gran apuesta por no olvidar la cultura tradicional, y consolidar un turismo rural, cultural y sostenible.

OBS

villa del libro: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que la expresión "villa del libro" es una alternativa al inglés "book town" cuando alude a las poblaciones que promueven las librerías como forma de atraer turismo.
