The Herencia City Council has shared with the community a bittersweet moment after learning that the town has not been selected to participate in the 2024 edition of the iconic program ‘El Grand Prix del Verano’ by RTVE. Despite not securing a spot as a participating town, Herencia has achieved an admirable position as a reserve for the Castilla-La Mancha region, standing out among over 490 national candidates.
The people of Herencia feel a understandable disappointment, but also a strong sense of pride and hope. The designation of Herencia as a reserve town means that there is still a possibility of appearing on the show if the previously selected town declines its participation or is unable to attend the recording. This reserve position is a recognition of the dedication and spirit of the proposal presented by Herencia and reinforces the enthusiasm and spirit of the town.
The team behind Herencia’s candidacy wishes to express their sincere gratitude to all individuals involved in the casting process. The support and selfless work of the community have been essential in reaching this far in the selection process.
In light of the results, a reflection for the future arises: Should Herencia prepare to assume the recording if offered the opportunity this year? Or should it start preparations for a new candidacy in 2025? What is clear is that Herencia has demonstrated its ability to compete at a national level and has left the door open for future television adventures.
The process has undoubtedly been an enriching experience for Herencia, which now looks towards the future with optimism and the certainty that its community is more united and ready than ever to show the rest of Spain the vitality and joy that characterize this Castilian-Manchego town.
