Abstract

Villuercas-Ibores-Jara is one of the most socioeconomically deprived areas of the Spanish region of Extremadura. However, its geological heritage and other natural resources have still not been sufficiently used. The recent integration of this region in the European Geoparks Network can be considered an important milestone for the promotion of a local socioeconomic development based on the sustainable management of natural areas. An inventory of 44 geosites was identified by the geopark's scientific committee in 14 categories by their main scientific interest. This article proposes a more straightforward classification of these geosites using only a total of six classes.
