AB This study supports the usefulness of geomorphological mapping as a tool for gaining anunderstanding of the landscape and assessing natural heritage. Mapping provides an essentiallyscientific document with great potential for the diffusion of geomorphological knowledge in that itprovides a guide to the user of natural protected areas as well as serving as a tool for its managementregarding geotourist itineraries, geodiversity, and geomorphosites. The example of the ValderejoNatural Park is presented, which is located in Álava (Spain) and whose geomorphology has beenmapped following a methodology based on fieldwork, desktop work, and the use of GeographicInformation Systems. The map’s applications are presented in the areas of tourism, geotourist maps,and for the assessment of natural heritage, geodiversity, and geomorphosites.
