Abstract

The end of mining activities in specialized areas (economic monoculture) has introduced the existence not only of important mining industrial heritage, but also of degraded landscape. Tourism, accordingly, emerged as an activity which is able to value and give new dimension for all landscapes that lost their productive function some decades ago. Therefore, the Region of Riotinto Mine, abandoned to the fate of «deindustrialization», claims new territorial role, this time approaching with tourism although some problems are unavoidable.
