“…Short distance trips are difficult to measure, given that there are no statistical sources that adapt to their criteria [40]. This deficit is supplemented with new sources of information, with a growing number of studies using social networks [41,42] and particularly sports communities such as Wikiloc, to identify these spaces, learn about their users and the use that they make of the space, particularly in natural environments [43][44][45].…”

Archaeological heritage sites constitute the most recent addition to the tourism supply of Madrid, one of the most visited regions of Spain. In 2003, the Plan de Yacimientos Visitables (Plan of Archaeological Visitable Sites) was implemented, museumising 21 sites. However, the peripheral nature of these sites and the lack of personnel prevent strict control being carried out of who visits them, the practices of these visitors and how they rate the sites. This study proposes a systematic procedure to analyse the data gathered from Twitter and Flickr, in order to determine the most shared archaeological spaces in the years immediately preceding the pandemic, and to assess the perception that the visitors had of them. The information provided is useful for learning about the real weight that these sites have in leisure experiences (school trips, guided tours, recreation, etc.). Now that travel has been restricted due to the pandemic, we should ask whether Spain’s minor heritage is able to structure new proximity tourism routes. This is based on the hypothesis that, until now, these types of heritage have had a very limited role in recreational practices, but offer potential as “outdoor museums” in the present climate.

“…But memorial tourism was not a completely new phenomenon; it dates back at least as far as the post-1st World War period when battlefields and monuments commemorating unknown soldiers fallen in combat became sites of pilgrimage (Jacquot;Chareyron et Cousin, 2018). It is a particular form of tourism that connects a powerful historical consciousness with the recovery of memorial testimony in which the «purely recreational aspects are relegated to second place» (Crahay, 2014: 151), in favour of a biographical relationship, individual or collective, on the part of the visitors with the places passed through (Bechtel;Jurgenson, 2013: 13).…”

“…At present, the instrumentalization by public powers of the concept of «duty of memory» seeks to confer utility and economic value upon the cultural patrimony of the past (Nora, 1999), putting it at the service of communities or places (Jacquot;Chareyron et Cousin, 2018). It is no longer only about using tourism as a motive for reconstructing destroyed places (Danchin, 2014), but of reintegrating the cultural and multi-ethnic dimension in a historically considered space and within its own development.…”

Figueira da Foz as a «site of memory» on the escape route from occupied Europe during the Second World War (1943-1945). Proposal for a historical itinerary

This study presents a proposal for a historical itinerary based on the «sites of memory» resulting from the presence in Figueira da Foz (a coastal city in central Portugal) of refugees from World War II. This seaside resort was one of the places chosen by the Salazar regime to receive refugees on a temporary basis, while they were waiting to embark to other countries or continents. Drawing on historical documentation, literary works and memoirs, this study identifies and maps out the places inhabited and frequented by these refugees during their stay in the city. The aim is to connect the intangible values of European history with the history of the city and its civic culture. By appreciating local heritage, it also seeks to maximize its potential to become a cultural-tourist product, enabling its integration into transnational cultural circuits, within the framework of the European Union’s policy for cross-border regions whose main aim was to free Europe from Nazi power and to break up of occupied Europe.

“…In fact, this "geo-crowdsourcing data" [11] has a volume, a precision and a semantic abundance such that research projects calling on this data are numerous for studying the city and the geographical practices of tourism [5], [12]. It makes it possible to map tourist mobility [13], [14], the spatial practices of tourists [15]- [17], to explore new forms of representation of tourist movements [17]- [20], or even identify attractive places [21]- [23]. It therefore seems possible to use this data to offer an alternative visualisation of the space-time of a tourist city.…”

The rise of digital footprints has created a number of promises and expectations for the study of territorial dynamics, particularly those of tourist cities. These footprints would make the observation of visitors' spatial practices possible and make up for the lack of information on these practices at an urban scale. Thus, many studies use data from social networks to study the touristic space at different geographical scales. These studies provide several types of visualisations based on this data, thus making it possible to represent and show a supposedly new touristic space-time-from the heat map to the dashboard, the digital footprints are displayed as processed, aggregated, calculated and smoothed. All these transformations-resulting from algorithmic black boxes that do not allow a precise understanding of the methodologies (often complex and approximate)-are often not very transparent. Consequently, the technicality and opacity of this data make necessary the development of critical approaches that allow the deconstruction of these new mapping registers. Based on data collected on a widely used social network, Instagram, we wish to question digital footprints as a potential tool to observe tourist practices, by going back through the data genealogy, from the map to the footprint. Our approach consists of going back to the initial data and their associated metadata, in order to explore two fundamental dimensions, conditions prerequisite for more complex explorations: time and space. Therefore, we collected a corpus of metadata from photographs published on Instagram between 2016 and 2018 in Biarritz, France, which we analyse following these two axes. Through this exploratory study, we will demonstrate that this data, though very rich, presents a certain number of limits, whether in terms of access to the data itself or its spatiotemporal precision.
