The Fundación Camino de la Lengua Castellana was set up on 22/02/2000 and works through a Board of Governors made up of representatives from different public bodies.
The Board meets at least twice per year: the first to approve the accounts of the previous year and the second to approve the Programme of Activities and budget for the following year.
