Abstract

Wine and the railroad are two key elements in the history of the Ribera del Duero in Valladolid. Over the years this area has undergone a series of social, economic and landscape significant changes due to the agrarian crisis of the mid-twentieth century. Yet the wine industry has established itself as the engine of the riverside economy through the production of quality wines and, more recently, the wine tourism which has allowed the development of a stronger economic fabric. Using this potential in wine and the railway line Valladolid-Ariza, a proposal for boosting tourism is suggested which will group all other heritage resources (landscape, cuisine, art and culture) located in the Valladolid section of the Ribera del Duero.
