Abstract (in English)

The Route of Santiago de Compostela (in Spain) was inscribed to the WH List in 1993. It was the first cultural route included in the international listing. Its study has special interest both by the great cultural heritage along the route and its historical significance, and by the possibility of analyzing the application of cultural route’s theoretical and practical postulates to a WHS. The paper proposed is based in studies of the site made by the author as member of CIIC and will include: a) General reference to the historical significance of the Route of Santiago de Compostela. b) Presentation of the most important monuments, sites, and landscapes linked to the Route. c) Santiago’s Route as a living cultural route. d) The way settings and other elements along the Route of Santiago were defined in its inscription as WHS. e) The conservation and management of Santiago’s Route in Spain, analyzing planning documents and practical cases. It will be specially presented the Management Plan of the Route of Santiago de Compostela in the Autonomous Community of La Rioja. This plan is a very interesting example of integral planning in a WH cultural route.
