“…There are over 10,000 km of approved trails in Andalucía, the southern region of Spain (Moscoso Sánchez and Nasarre Sarmiento, 2019). The growth of rural tourism, along with the diversification of recreation and leisure, has led to a considerable growth in hiking and the promotion of projects for reactivating and restoring historical paths and trails.…”

PurposeHeritage landmarks and historical values often coexist with places and regions of remarkable environmental and landscape wealth. This article studies their capacity to generate global understanding of their territory through the creation of cultural routes. The proposed methodology is verified through the study of the defensive features of the ancient Nasrid Kingdom, the last Islamic territory in the Iberian Peninsula from the thirteenth to the fifteenth century, which shaped the Spanish region known as the Kingdom of Granada until the nineteenth century.Design/methodology/approachTo assist in the proposal of new routes, a precise collection of physical data (topography, landmarks, resources, population centres …), existing public paths and protected natural sites was carried out. Those cultural routes relevant to the area of study were also selected and mapped through GIS. A set of indicators prioritised through an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) have evaluated the proposed itineraries.FindingsThe methodology enables the integral evaluation of parameters such as natural heritage, existing paths networks, defensive architectural heritage (watchtowers), existing cultural routes or proximity to basic services. The methodology's application allows an index to be obtained that quantifies the global implications of these parameters in the design of new itineraries. This leads to the development of a network with its own narrative that provides a historical, environmental and cultural meaning.Originality/valueWatchtowers in this region have previously been studied as isolated and locally relevant architectural features. This work studies them from an overall perspective, considering each tower as a piece of a complex defensive and territorial system. Cultural routes arise from this joint interpretation as tools to restore and highlight the interrelationship between architectural heritage and territory and people.

“…represents for the creation of quality employment and the economic revitalisation of the rural environment needs to be assessed. Not only should it be assessed as a complementary offer and a way of redistributing JCHMSD 14,3 tourism-a strategic sector in Spain-but also as an initiative that fits in with the European Commission's "green economy" agenda (Vidal-Gonz alez, 2020;Vidal and S anchez, 2019;Moscoso-S anchez and Nasarre, 2019;V ıas et al, 2018), as well as the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, in particular: Goal 1.

PurposeIn this article, the authors analyse a complex social process affecting historic public paths in rural areas in southern Spain. Despite the fact that urban populations are demanding the enhancement of this type of natural heritage for tourism, sports and recreational use, some parts of the network have been abandoned or usurped.Design/methodology/approachThe study is multidisciplinary, comprising three interlinked studies. The cartographic study comprises an inventory of public paths in rural areas based on administrative sources. The legal study analyses local, regional and national regulations governing agricultural, environmental, heritage, sports and tourism uses of the infrastructure. The sociological study analyses social discourses on the uses of public paths, and identifies conflicts between farmers, landowners, environmentalists, sportspeople and tourists.FindingsThe preliminary results identified an important public paths network in Andalusia, approximately 160,000 km. The legal study found that there are laws regulating use, although local authorities do not monitor compliance or provide solutions to enhance management. The sociological study determined the attribution of environmental, cultural and economic value to public paths, but also the existence of conflicts between rural and urban populations.Research limitations/implicationsGiven that this is ongoing research, only state of the art and some preliminary albeit sufficiently consistent results are presented.Practical implicationsThe results could help to guide public policy and governance of public paths.Social implicationsPublic paths promote rural development and a green/sustainable economy.Originality/valueThe research results and conclusions are original.
