On the one hand, the theoretical bases for the correct elaboration of a tourist route or itinerary are provided: - Essential concepts about routes, roads and tourist itineraries. - Analysis of itineraries and routes. - Methodology and tools for the design and programming of tourist itineraries. - Assistance and guide of tourist groups. In addition, the subject has a double practical dimension, which will be specified in: - The preparation by students of an original tourist itinerary. - Carrying out an excursion lasting several days (or, if this is not possible, several visits of shorter duration) to familiarize themselves with spaces and tourist itineraries of diverse nature (urban, rural and natural) and which serve to put into practice the previous work done by the students. - The analysis of the activity carried out in the two previous points, so that the positive and negative aspects of the activity can be identified.
