Climate Change and its repercussions on the “Camino de Santiago” and the “Paella Valenciana”

Have you ever wondered whether climate change might affect some of the cultural identity of any of our countries, or whether any of our traditions are at risk for that very reason?
This problem has not only altered natural ecosystems and global economies, but has also had a devastating impact on the tangible and intangible cultural heritage of states.
In the article “Climate Change and its repercussions on the emblems of Spanish Heritage: An analysis of the Camino de Santiago and the Paella Valenciana” César del Valle Barreda tells us how in Spain, two icons deeply linked to its national identity, the “Camino de Santiago” (The Way of St. James) and the “Paella Valenciana”, are being affected by global warming and its multiple effects.

The paper has been published in “GreenHeritage. The Impact of Climate Change on the Intangible Cultural Heritage”, a special issue of the journal “Territori della Cultura”.
