Valle de Arroes, Peón and Candanal, Exemplary Town 2023

Welcome to the area for media professionals

We have compiled resources of different types to facilitate your coverage of the Princess of Asturias Award to the 2023 Exemplary Town which, as you may know, this year has been awarded to the Valley of Arroes, Peón and Candanal (Villaviciosa council).
The award ceremony, with the visit of the Royal Family, will be held on Saturday 21 October in Arroes.

The people featured have expressly ceded their image rights in writing for the occasion. You will find interviews with residents of the Valley, local representatives and the CTIC team.

Each person brings a different perspective.
