The landscape is subject to constant appraisals, providing different perceptions that arise from the viewer’s observations and reflections on its tangible and intangible qualities ( Daniel 2001 Marques 2014 Pina 2013b). The landscape is diverse and versatile (Cantero 2010), and comprises structural elements such as landforms and bodies of water, different forms of spatial occupation and built structures, such as settlements and scattered farms, in addition to paths and roadways.

It includes the distinct components of this space and can be looked at in different ways, which is why its appropriation was regulated at the “European Landscape Convention” held in Florence in 2000 according to which “landscape is a part of the territory as perceived by the population, the nature of which results from the action and interaction of natural and/or human factors.” ( Marques 2014, p. Landscape, “the cultural projection of a society and of symbols that express thoughts, ideas, various emotions” (eds Nogué 2007, p.12), is a Latin word that means region: a space that can be seen at a glance from a specific spot and at a given moment, and which varies according to the viewer.
