The Mancomunidad of Alto Palancia is promoting a cultural cycle with over 40 activities between July and October to foster musical and literary creation in the region, as part of the Pimtepa plan.

The project, funded by the Ministry of Social Rights, Consumer Affairs and the 2030 Agenda, will reach all 28 associated municipalities, enhancing the summer program. The cycle includes pop-rock, folklore, and literature performances.
Groups such as Helios, Quinta Planta, and Los Intensos, the folklore association Arte Baturro, and writer Miguel Alayrach will participate. The president of the Mancomunidad, Jessica Miravete, recently welcomed the group Los Intensos to present them with promotional material.
Helios, a pop-rock band from Segorbe founded in the 80s, is known for its reinterpretations of Spanish music classics. Quinta Planta, from Navajas, formed in 2002, has evolved from rock and blues towards American music and 70s rock classics, having performed at Rock in Rio Madrid. Los Intensos offer interactive children's rock shows in Valencian and Spanish, promoting values like empathy.
Arte Baturro, a traditional music association from Jérica founded in 2001, is a benchmark for Aragonese folklore in the region, keeping the 'jota' tradition alive. Miguel Alayrach, a children's writer from Geldo specializing in illustrated stories, promotes reading through storytelling, workshops, and reading clubs.
The cycle aims to boost local culture and intangible heritage, with an expected direct participation of over 10,000 people. The Pimtepa project contributes to rural revitalization, social cohesion, and employment, valuing material, immaterial, and natural heritage.
