The Madrid Transhumance Festival<\/strong>, organised with the support of Madrid City Council and featuring flocks from the Trashumancia y Naturaleza Foundation, has achieved significant media and public attention, consolidating its position as one of the leading initiatives promoting pastoral culture and extensive livestock farming.<\/p>\n

The passage of sheep and goats through emblematic locations in the capital, such as Puerta del Sol and Alcal\u00e1 Street, has once again transformed Madrid’s streets into a showcase for the tradition of transhumance, bringing citizens closer to an activity closely linked to land conservation, biodiversity and rural heritage.<\/p>\n

Extensive coverage in national and international media<\/strong><\/p>\n

The spectacular images and growing interest in sustainability and animal welfare have helped increase the visibility of this celebration.<\/p>\n

This exposure has turned the Transhumance Festival into a platform for promoting traditional Spanish livestock farming internationally. It has also attracted the interest of companies in the entertainment industry, which have taken advantage of the event’s visibility to carry out promotional activities linked to their audiovisual productions.<\/p>\n

Transhumance, an essential activity for land conservation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Beyond its festive and media dimension, the celebration aims to highlight the role of transhumant livestock farmers and shepherds in nature conservation<\/strong>, while raising awareness of the need to protect livestock routes, a historical and environmental heritage that is essential for the movement of livestock.<\/p>\n

Transhumance represents a model of extensive livestock farming closely linked to the sustainable use of natural resources, the maintenance of rural landscapes and the preservation of traditional practices that form part of the territory’s cultural identity.<\/p>\n

In this regard, the Transhumance Festival also provides an opportunity to bring the reality of the livestock sector closer to urban populations and recognise the work of the professionals who keep this activity alive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
