Potencialidad del patrimonio bajomedieval en la provincia de Cádiz (España) como recurso turístico

Abstract

During the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries we witness a historical process in which the peninsular Christian kingdoms expand through Western Andalusia against Muslim rule. This historical period has many consequences from the point of view of social, cultural and economic transformations, but also, for the rich real estate that stands out for its quality and quantity. Historical heritage has been a fundamental resource for tourism since the beginning of this activity. However, it is during the 1960s when its tourist use is intensified either by individualized promotion or by its integration into tourist-cultural itineraries or routes. In this way, its legal protection is also extended as a way to favor its enhancement and protection. This work has two distinct objectives. On the one hand a study of the late medieval heritage is carried out, and on the other hand its tourist potential and its capacities within the sector are analyzed.
