With the 31 additions of last year, Galicia has a total of 325 establishments distinguished with this certification.

Cesáreo Pardal participated in the recognition ceremony held in Oleiros and chaired by Alfonso Rueda, president of the Xunta.

The Galician tourism sector does not cease in its commitment to quality. There are now 325 establishments that can boast the Q for Quality certification awarded by the Spanish Institute for Tourism Quality (ICTE) after adding another 31 distinctions last year. Galicia is thus confirmed as the second autonomous community with more certifications, being surpassed only by Andalusia, as highlighted both the president of the Xunta de Galicia, Alfonso Rueda; as the president of the Galicia Tourism Cluster, Cesáreo Pardal, and his counterpart of the ICTE, Miguel Mirones, during the act of recognition and delivery of diplomas held Friday in the municipality of Oleiros in A Coruña.

Finca Montesqueiro, the first event-oriented establishment to achieve this distinction, hosted an event in which other authorities also took part as the director of Galicia Tourism, Nava Castro; the vice president of the Provincial Council of A Coruña and responsible for the area of Tourism of that institution, Xosé Regueira, and the vice president of the Provincial Council of Ourense and president of the Ourense Institute of Economic Development (Inorde), Rosendo Fernández.

During this meeting, a special mention was awarded to the Travesía Náutica Xacobea for being the only company distinguished as a tourist route. Soutomaior Castle was also recognised as a museum. The awarding of the new distinctions has also ratified Galicia’s leadership within the communities of Green Spain, as it is the territory with the most Q for Quality in 13 categories and is also the only community with this certification in areas such as tourist hostels, unique public spaces, sustainable accommodation and tourist routes.
