River Duero in Soria, Spain
Résumé en anglais
“Where the Duero River twists to form its crossbow curvealong Soria” (Spain), there is a landscape shaped by cultural heritage
sites from diverse ages, similar in typology and contradictory in theirheritage making process. Today, from the viewing point of Cuatro
Vientos and the viewing point of Soria Castle we may relish a landscaperich in heroic memories, literary evocation and legends. Added to the
memory of this heroism (Numancia) or of artistic expressions is thetransformational gaze of writers that were transcendental in Spanish
culture. Bécquer, Machado and Gerardo Diego gave literary wording totheir nostalgia and experience. Thus, at the same location, the heritage
value springs from human activity in the past and also from the culturalprojection of feelings onto the surrounding reality. The strength of the
poetic word, recited and commented on in the classroom, has transformedthe River Duero into a heritage landscape.
