The European Atlantic Sunset project, led by the Spanish partner CEER Foundation and supported by the Interreg Atlantic Area programme, marks the Interreg Cooperation Day 2025 with a public session to present the unique characteristics of the sunsets in the Atlantic regions and demonstrate how sunsets can capitalized the value of the West Coast, contributing to being mindful of the environment and social concerns, and finding ways for tourism to work well with other activities in the area.
The public session takes place on the 19th of September, at 19:30 (local time), in the symbolic Plaza Stephen Hawking, in Finisterre, close to one of the westernmost points on continental Europe and a final destination of pilgrims from the St James Way. It intends to show what European cooperation looks like in everyday life and what happens when European regions work together.
Researchers and experts from Ireland to the Canary Islands are identifying some of the best sunset Atlantic spots, in close collaboration with local communities, tourism and other development agents, and working on a tourist plan to be marketed to potential visitors. In the first public session of the event, the partners will present the first spots of this network and how they will be projected in the coming months.
In addition to Cape Finisterre, there are other strategic spots that will be developed as part of the Atlantic Sunset project, such as other extreme locations and symbolic places in Portugal, France and Ireland.
