Fresh on the heels of their Scottish delegation in September and new sister city partnership with Dunkeld and Birnam, Perthshire, Scotland, the organization received the visit of the Valladolid Mayor Alpha Alejandra Tavera Escalante, with members of her staff, and committee delegates.
The group engaged in community meetings, educational visits, health and human services roundtable discussions, tourism, and economic development programs. The two cities will work collaboratively to create more opportunities for the exchange of ideas and opportunities between Asheville and Valladolid.
Currently, two exchange students from the Valladolid area are studying at Asheville High School for the year.
