The Universitat de València, through the Office of the Vice-Principal for Territorial Projection and Participation and the Office of the Vice-Principal for International Relations and Cooperation, maintains the Erasmus at the Territory programme. In this fourth edition it has organised training itineraries that will allow for showing some Valencian municipalities referent for their culture and heritage.

These itineraries are addressed to the students of the Erasmus programme of the Universitat for the 2016-2017 academic year. Routes, planned in collaboration with the corresponding town councils, are intended to enlighten the Erasmus programme students about economic, cultural and landscape values of the Valencia region.
