Main Article Content
Abstract
We present the example o Ribadavia (Ourense), a town declared of cultural interest that has enhanced its heritage through renovations and new uses, such as the new Galician Wine Museum located in an old rectory or the rehabilitation of its castle, with an interpretation centre inside. Visits to its heritage, together with wine tourism (Ribadavia is the most important wine-producing region in Galicia) attract a new tourist profile of people who travel specifically to enjoy its historic buildings and wineries which, in turn, have contributed to keeping alive the intangible heritage linked to this activity.
Keywords: Ribadavia, heritage, rehabilitation, new uses, indicator, BIC.
