Summary
This paper analyses the roll-out of participatory governance strategies regarding heritage and tourism in rural areas in Asturias. Ethnographic fieldwork has revealed that participatory practices not only legitimise the reception and redistribution of European funds by Spanish institutions, but also take on quite different configurations from their initial logics, thus consolidating pre-existing power relations between different local actors.
