Abstract

The landscape units and geosystems of the Sierra del Aramo are defined and described. The Sierra del Aramo is a mountain space representative of the territorial transformations that are taking place in the Cantabrian Mountains, due to its heritage interest and its possible declaration as a Protected Landscape. The Integrated Landscape Analysis method, developed and consolidated over the last decades, serves this need by identifying the natural and anthropic landscape units, as well as 8 geosystems and 38 geofacies. Indeed, this tool can be essential in managing territories in full socioeconomic mutation.
