Abstract (in English)

“Where the Duero River twists to form its crossbow curve along Soria” (Spain), there is a landscape shaped by cultural heritage sites from diverse ages, similar in typology and contradictory in their heritage making process. Today, from the viewing point of Cuatro Vientos and the viewing point of Soria Castle we may relish a landscape rich in heroic memories, literary evocation and legends. Added to the memory of this heroism (Numancia) or of artistic expressions is the transformational gaze of writers that were transcendental in Spanish culture. Bécquer, Machado and Gerardo Diego gave literary wording to their nostalgia and experience. Thus, at the same location, the heritage value springs from human activity in the past and also from the cultural projection of feelings onto the surrounding reality. The strength of the poetic word, recited and commented on in the classroom, has transformed the River Duero into a heritage landscape.
