AB This article reflects on the growing trend of cultural landscape appreciation and connecting landscapeswith their broader heritage surroundings. It focuses on historical trails and their adjacent cultural and naturalheritage as a holistic cultural landscape with a particular case from the Costa Brava. The paper links the conceptsof natural scenery, identity, authenticity, coastal and cultural heritage, trails, routes and cultural tourism as thebasis for understanding cultural landscapes in a heritage tourism context. This paper provides perspectives on howa coastal trail and its surrounding heritage can connect and be experienced as a cultural landscape, which includesarchitecture, art, literature and archaeology. The findings suggest five themes that connect the historical path withthe region’s heritage landscape: the role of tangible and intangible heritage, the development of a heritage discourse,promoting a heritage route, the division of the route into three sections and their connections to tourism, and theacknowledgement of a unique cultural landscape. The totality of the heritage landscape with all its componentscomplements, and is an integral part of, the coastal landscape that appeals to many tourists in the Costa Brava.
