• Resumen

  • This chapter analyses religious itineraries and pilgrimage routes as 'glocal' phenomena, characterized that is by a natural interface between the local and the global. It describes them as a driver of sustainable development above all in rural and/or marginal areas. After a short discussion of the value generated by complex cultural products such as religious itineraries and their impact on local and regional economies, the chapter considers the structure of local relations or 'networks' that give rise to them and sustain them.
