Geography is made by walking: the Salida Itinerante experience

Abstract

The field trips represent a method of teaching outside the classroom, which is very characteristic in Geography and have a long history. In this paper we present the Salida Itinerante de Geografía, a cross-cutting teaching experience where university teachers and students walk for several days through natural and rural areas. The hike serves to vertebrate the field work, which is organized by groups and themes, addressing the different territorial keys of the area. Likewise, an evaluation of this teaching experience is carried out as a feedback to improve future editions.
