The heritage cannot be appreciated nor entirely understood without considering the genesis and evolution of natural elements. Four places located in the north of Spain are analyzed. They are featured by the importance of natural environment, as Pleistocene and Holocene tufa buildups, and the important cultural goods, vernacules, or belonging to Prehistoric, Middle Age, and Modern ages. The inventory and assessing of geomorphosites have been made, and their scientific, cultural, and use and management values have been analyzed. The protection laws and territorial planning were also analyzed to complete the study of cultural heritage. Finally, a scalar assessment, from facies to landscape and past and current uses, has been made. Tufas explain traditional land uses and landscapes from the Holocene to the present. They are complex units with functions as defence, hydraulic power, and agriculture, and they are divided in specialized internal areas depending on their natural and socio-economical features. Three cases of natural-cultural relationships can be identified: as hydraulic and agricultural resources (farmland, proto-industrial goods, or well organized plots), as defensive emplacements, and urban development conditioned by the use of the tufa for communications, strategic emplacements, hydraulic resources—watermills and proto-industrial fulling mills. All of them make up an integrated cultural ensemble, a heritage of high territorial and landscape value. The geomorphological elements are not just a context, they are part of the cultural monument, an essential and dynamic component. So, potentialities and limitations of use must be taken into account by territorial managers in the planning and interpretation of integrated geotouristic products. In all studied cases, we have detected that natural components are ignored in tourist, cultural, and territorial management.

如果不考虑自然要素的起源和演变，就无法理解或完全理解遗产。分析了位于西班牙北部的四个地方。它们的特点是自然环境的重要性，如更新世和全新世的石灰石堆积物，以及重要的文化产品，古迹或属于史前，中世纪和现代的文化。进行了地貌岩的清单和评估，并分析了它们的科学，文化，使用和管理价值。还对保护法和领土规划进行了分析，以完成对文化遗产的研究。最后，已经进行了从相到景观以及过去和当前用途的标量评估。Tufas解释了从全新世到现在的传统土地用途和景观。它们是具有国防，水力和农业功能的复杂单位，并且根据其自然和社会经济特征划分为专门的内部区域。可以确定三种自然文化关系的案例：作为水力和农业资源（农田，原始工业品或组织良好的土地），防御性安置和通过使用石灰石进行通讯，战略性安置，液压资源-水磨和原工业灌装磨。所有这些都构成了一个综合的文化集合，具有很高的领土和景观价值。地貌元素不仅是上下文，而且是文化纪念碑的一部分，是必不可少的动态组成部分。所以，在规划和解释综合地质旅游产品时，地区经理必须考虑使用的潜力和限制。在所有研究的案例中，我们已经检测到自然成分在旅游，文化和领土管理中被忽略。
