Carousel rides: New tools for navigation in intangible Cultural Heritage

The «art of dry-stone walling», declared as Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO, has his-torically materialized, in Mallorca, with a varied list of constructions with different functions. The massive habilitation of dry stone walls in the Mallorcan rural area has left an outstanding landscape and territorial footprint, which constitutes a rich source of geographical analysis. We present, as an essay, an unpublished cartography of the dry-stone walls located in the Sierra de Tramuntana (Majorca), cartography that has served as the basis for its classification and provi-sional quantification. With the support of basic techniques of cartography, photointerpretation and GIS, the detailed examination of two official cartographic bases has allowed to determine their usefulness as reliable sources of location and knowledge of dry stone walls in our study area, with a view to a longer range geographical analysis.
