Abstract

Urban geotourism appears as an innovative form of tourism consisting in exploiting the visible geology and geomorphology in the cities. This paper proposes for the first time a geotourist itinerary in the city of Cidade Velha (Santiago, Cape Verde) using the catalogue, classification and assessment of the geomorphological heritage existing in the various geomorphosites or in the tangible cultural heritage.
