This article analyzes a series of examples of intervention in Spanish mining heritage, with the purpose of preservingthis patrimony, while its cultural and touristic development takes place at the same time. To understand how it hasbeen possible that the society assumed the patrimonial value of this industrial heritage, the evolution of the conceptof heritage and landscape is briefly explained, analyzing the changes produced in both concepts and raising that themining patrimony finds it real sense of existence based on the new idea of landscape following the definition includedin the Convention of Florence. This is due to the specific characteristics of mining heritage, which on one handdistinguish it as unique within the field of industrial heritage, but on the other hand, imply that new models and conceptsof musealization are needed. The Mining Park of Rio Tinto (province of Huelva, Andalucía) and the Mining Parkof Almadén (province of Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha) are the examples here analyzed, for which the landscapeand the relation with human activities have been the axes of their musealization and touristic development, whilethe Mining Landscape of Ojos Negros has been turned into a scenery for contemporary artistic activities, creating adifferent way of intervening in this landscape and of promoting its recovery for society. |
