Throughout its complex evolution, it has become a catalyst for landscapes and times which give it different meanings that can be read in deferential ways: mystical, narrative, aesthetic, etc. Landscapes of great intense value are present along the route that need to be empowered through subtle but effective actions to make them visible. This potential precise an energetic action but endowed with aesthetic sensitivity and legitimized by the knowledge of all its complexity.These special areas are use to be detected near distinguishing elements in the way that have made complex the evolution of their landscape, like it happens with the presence of obstacles to save.
