Abstract

Urban geotourism appears as an innovative form of tourism consisting in exploiting the visible environment (relief, lithology, etc.) of contemporary cities. This paper proposes a geotourist route in the city of Puerto de la Cruz (Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain) using the catalogue, classification and assessment of the geological heritage (volcanoes, hornitos, lava flows, gullies, cliff, bach, etc.) and lithology in the tangible cultural heritage. According to the variety of resources catalogued and the possibilities offered by this new form of tourist leisure, the itinerarys considered exhibit three main features: geological time, geological and geomorphological thematics, and geographical space.
