Interactive rural tourism system
A simple hiking-routes website created in collaboration with the town hall of my village (Igüeña, Spain), with one goal: help visitors explore the valley safely and with more context about its nature and meaning.
This project was created non-profit, in collaboration with the local municipality, as a small contribution to build a reliable base of hiking routes for people visiting the Igüeña valley. The idea was to keep it simple: clear routes, basic guidance, and practical information that helps people enjoy the area without taking unnecessary risks.
Beyond directions, the platform includes digital content for interpretation: short explanations that help visitors understand what they’re seeing—landscape, local ecology, and the human presence that shaped the valley. My intention was to encourage respectful tourism: slower, safer, and more connected to nature.
A simple way to explore the valley safely
The platform was designed to reduce friction for visitors: pick a route, understand the difficulty, and follow clear directions. In rural environments, a “small” mistake can become a problem quickly—so clarity, responsibility, and simplicity were core principles.
“If people understand the place, they take better care of it.”
Each route was accompanied by short digital interpretation: what the visitor is seeing, why the landscape is shaped that way, and how to walk it respectfully. The goal was not to build a complex product—just a helpful base that supports safe tourism and a deeper appreciation of nature.
