The landscape is the result of the relationship between nature and human activity over time. Forests, sands and natural landforms coexist with historic paths, former farmlands, dry-stone huts and other features created by people, shaping an environment rich in character and identity.
This combination of natural and cultural elements forms a unique socio-ecological heritage that reflects the way the people of Salou have lived, worked and interacted with the land. The diversity of habitats and landscapes that can be seen today is the result of this balance between natural resources and their traditional management.
The landscape is not just a natural setting; a repository of memory, culture and collective identity. Preserving it means safeguarding both its ecological value and the traces of the historical relationship between people and the environment, as together they form part of Salou’s shared heritage and its legacy for future generations.
