Herencia was in the spotlight this past Tuesday on the Hoy por Hoy Ciudad Real program on Cadena SER, broadcast live from the Municipal Casino in light of the cultural and social events taking place in the town. The segment, hosted by José Luis Fernández, allowed the provincial audience to learn about some of the projects that have marked the recent evolution of the municipality and the challenges it faces in the coming years.
During the interview, the mayor, Sergio García-Navas, reviewed several lines of work that have transformed Herencia in the last decade. The recovery of public spaces, the rehabilitation of iconic buildings, cultural promotion, population growth, and economic development were some of the topics addressed in a special broadcast that turned the Municipal Casino into a radio meeting point.
From the Casino to Plaza de España: recovered heritage
One of the most visible examples of this evolution is the Municipal Casino itself, from where the program was held. The building, which had been in a very dilapidated state, has been revitalized as a central space for the cultural and social life of Herencia. Its rehabilitation symbolizes a way of understanding heritage not as a static element, but as a living resource at the service of the community.
In this same vein, the mayor also referred to the remodeling of Plaza de España, one of the central spaces in the municipality. The intervention has contributed to improving the urban image and enhancing the public use of a key area for coexistence, public events, and daily activities.
Another highlighted project is the upcoming work on Plaza de San Bartolomé. The planned intervention includes the elimination of architectural barriers, the enhancement of the chapel, and the creation of areas with natural shade. The improvement of these spaces aims to make Herencia more accessible, comfortable, and adapted to the needs of residents of different ages.
More inhabitants, new services, and a health center
The interview also revealed a relevant statistic: Herencia has gained 202 more residents according to the latest census. The mayor linked this demographic growth to the economic development of the municipality and the improvement of public services.
Among these services were mentioned initiatives such as the municipal gym and youth guidance services. The Municipal Auditorium, inaugurated in 2016, was also highlighted, which has solidified as a cultural infrastructure capable of attracting regionally appealing performance proposals.
One of the most anticipated projects is the new health center, a long-standing demand of over 40 years that is now in the bidding phase. The project involves an investment of over six million euros and a planned area of 2,500 square meters. In addition to expanding the range of services, the center aims to become a reference training space for resident doctors in Primary Care.
Business, culture, and external projection
The local economy was another topic discussed during the program. Herencia has approximately one business for every eight residents, a figure that demonstrates the significance of the business fabric in the municipality. In this context, the City Council is working on the third expansion of the industrial estate, an action considered essential for continuing to attract investment and generate employment.
Culture also held a prominent place in the broadcast. The festival ViVher once again places Herencia on the cultural map of summer with more than 30 proposals for music, theater, and outdoor art. The program includes activities in squares and neighborhoods across the municipality, in addition to events such as the Pura Eshencia Festival, scheduled for June 27 at the Football Field, featuring artists like Leire Martínez, El Arrebato, and Pole.
In the sports and social realm, the program also mentioned initiatives like the Quijote’s Handball Cup, a tournament that brings together hundreds of participants and is part of the local sports calendar. The mayor expressed his disappointment, as reported by Cadena SER, regarding the withdrawal of support from the Provincial Council for this event.
The broadcast of Hoy por Hoy Ciudad Real from Herencia showcased a town that combines heritage, cultural activity, public services, youth, sports, and business development. During one morning, the radio transformed the municipality into a provincial showcase, delivering a clear message: Herencia wants to grow without losing its local identity.
