Résumé en anglais

The cultural or heritage routes are focussed not only on the sites, but on theinterrelationships generated by their use along the history. I will contend that the spirit of these routes is a result both of the local traditions and the movement of peoples processes and how it becomes even more complex when discussing about living cultural routes. I will present the Route of Santiago de Compostela WHS as a case study. (It keeps most of its original meanings for more than 10 centuries and it is reappropriated and culturally re-contextualized by modern pilgrims and local people nowadays). The paper will propose answers for: Is the historic spirit the same than the modern one? Is it the same along the entire route? Who is transmitting it? Howis it being interpreted and transmitted? To develop this paper we dedicate a first section to theoretical aspects and a second one linked with the use of internet tools on the interpretation of the Route of Santiago de Compostela.
