Vidal00aMonasteries and tourism: interpreting sacred landscape through gastronomy.  uhttp://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S1982-61252017000100175&lang=es  a175-1960 v113 aThis article analyses the role of monasteries as a sacred space and how their relationship with tourism depicts a landscape of  good taste . Monasteries are examples of both tangible and intangible heritage, and are highly symbolic built spaces that have often become the guardians of tradition. They are strongly embedded within a local cultural landscape, which has determined their historical evolution. Monasteries used to be self-sufficient communities that relied on the resources available in their local environment, e.g. they produced their own wine, which was essential for the celebration of the Eucharist; or they preserved food from their own produce. Gastronomy in monasteries can be a tool to improve tourists  visitor experience, in so far as it respects the values that these sacred spaces represent. This article explores the literature on monasteries as sacred spaces; the relationship between their tangible and intangible heritage attributes; and how monasteries and their heritage are linked to tourism. This is illustrated through examples from Spain.  a1982-6125
