Appointment of the First Managing Director

The Spanish World Heritage Cities Group names Ángel Rosado Martínez as its first managing director.

The general assembly of the Ciudades Patrimonio de la Humanidad de España held in Santiago de Compostela will be remembered, according to its president Pedro Arahuetes, Mayor of Segovia, for marking the beginning of a new period for the organisation characterised by its professionalisation, as exemplified by its closure, when it appointed the first managing director of its almost twenty years of existence. The lucky candidate was Ángel Rosado Martínez, former head of communication at the Fundación Albéniz, chosen from among more than 700 candidates in the selection process carried out by an external company.

In a few days time Ángel Rosado Martínez will assume his new responsibilities, which include managing the celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the group’s foundation. His position will concentrate the complex tasks of coordination between the fifteen cities—Alcalá de Henares, Ávila, Baeza, Cáceres, Córdoba, Cuenca, Ibiza, Mérida, Salamanca, San Cristóbal de La Laguna, Santiago de Compostela, Segovia, Tarragona, Toledo and Úbeda— hitherto carried out by elementary means.
