Abstract
The study focuses on inventorying and evaluating geomorphosites in the Natural Park of Valderejo (Álava, Spain). Geomorphological elements are very important to management protected natural areas, because they are a major component of the natural system. The geomorphological heritage consists of sites with scientific or didactic landscapes and added values, as cultural or scenic ones related to human land uses. Geomorphosites are authentic heritage and territorial resources oriented to the local development. The inventory methodology was been applied by the work team in other territories and now has been adapted and improved to be applied in the Valderejo N.P. Five geomorphosites have been inventoried and evaluated. Each geomorphosite has been assesed and proposals for management and use are provided for a few sites. The methodology allows inventory, diagnose and define proposals for improve the management of Valderejo N.P.
