Abstract
The Covid-19 health crisis has shown the need for the hospital and health system in Europe, in general, and in Spain, in particular, but also that it can be an opportunity to grow and improve, which perhaps in other circumstances would disappear. The Humanities can participate in and contribute to this positive consideration of reality, with its focus of study on cultural heritage and its valorisation, and therefore also generators of transfer, although transfer and management always on the unquestionable basis of knowledge and research, because without the latter, the former is impossible; and transfer, likewise, to give back to society, which we serve, dynamism and social development through cultural heritage, as knowledge, promotion of employment, or tourism, rural and urban, alternative and creative, in line with the most recent and cutting-edge work in this respect, such as that of Ortega and Ruiz for the Alpujarra of Granada. In this context, this article, part of the innovation project awarded by the UCO to map and analyse the charitable-health care network of Cordova and its province from the mid-1800s to the present, in order to promote cultural tourism from the heritage, aims to trace its fundamental vectors and, therefore, focus on its objectives, methodology and historiography, as its very recent inception still prevents full results.
Keywords: Cultural heritage; Cordova; province; welfare network; long term.
