Abstract
The traditional olive grove landscape have been suffering different risks. These risks has been aggravated due to the currently crisis in the sector, its simplification, abandonment or the uprooting and their effects on the local population and in their natural value, make it necessary to enhance and appreciate a wider range of resources such as public, natural and sociocultural services. The olive grove is able to offer all these resources however it is essential to investigate and to develop them. The green infrastructure strategies and the ecological connectivity applied to these olive groves are key factors for the recovery and improvement of these resources, valuing the landscape elements with an orientation, among others, tourist-recreational. To see the importance of these strategies in the traditional olive grove some studies have been carried out in the municipality of Almedinilla (Córdoba), where the traditional olive groves take up the bulk of the area. A cartographic analysis, inventorying its natural heritage and its agricultural landscape elements as well as considering potential zones for its extension have been carried out. As a result of this, cartographic were obtained and they have turned over a high potential to better the agrarian landscape, and with them the design if an ample and functional ecological connectivity network. This is evidence of a marked capacity of these olive groves as providers of a range of public assets and services
