In his presentation, titled “Geodiversity: the hidden jewel of natural heritage,” Fayanás reviewed the variety of Aragonese landscapes. He highlighted that this legacy makes it possible to understand their evolution and offers opportunities to promote awareness and knowledge of the municipalities.
The tour included the red sandstone formations of Rodeno and the landscapes of Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park, where geological processes and the action of glaciers have shaped some of the most recognizable sites in the Aragonese Pyrenees.
CONSERVATION AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR RURAL AREAS
Fayanás argued that protecting natural heritage can go hand in hand with economic development. Explaining and showcasing these resources can expand the tourism offering and support local employment. As examples, he cited Dinópolis and the Sobrarbe-Pyrenees and Maestrazgo geoparks.
He also pointed to the possibilities offered by digitalization, immersive experiences and augmented reality to create specialized tourism proposals. These tools can help generate activity in villages based on their own resources, without requiring major investments.
