(English) The purpose of this research is to analyze the processes of reclamation of mining areas in Spain. A systematic review of the literature on this matter shows that, although there are numerous publications addressing different ways to intervene in these places, most explain the interventions in an isolated and generic manner, or as specific cases, without analyzing the entirety of the processes employed as systems of successive stages. These studies also do not pay enough attention to how changes between different stages have occurred, the factors that have influenced the transition from one trend to another, or the shift from rejection to appreciation of the mining landscapes. All of this marks the starting point of this thesis, in which we aim to uncover the processes followed in the reclamation of mining areas and to observe the changes in attitudes that have occurred from one trend to another. This would be its main contribution. By exploring the main ideas and theories that have marked the path towards the reclamation of mining spaces, we highlight how long it has taken to understand them as cultural heritage in Spain. Its recognition dates back only three or four decades, during which, however, significant advances have been achieved and unique projects have taken place. In the thesis, we demonstrate how different dimensions have been incorporated into the reclamation processes, starting from pioneering cases—preceding the more common and legally required interventions—to other reference examples. We analyze the identified processes to reveal how progress has been made, from the initial demands for adequate environmental conditions to the recognition of mining heritage and the appreciation of mining traces. We particularly focus on how the cultural dimension has been integrated into the mining reclamation processes, from the early, relatively small-scale interventions to larger projects that incorporate numerous remnants related to that activity, culminating in the creation of territorial parks. We highlight the moment when the reclamation of mining areas, previously carried out due to legal obligation or the mining companies' initiative, became a social demand aimed at fostering local development. We also consider the valorization of the geological interest of many mining sites and their reclamation as a result of that progress. We defend the representativeness of the case studies, verifying that, although they are exceptional considering the numerous abandoned mines, they end up setting a clear trend while also being representative of the reclamation processes that could be applied in similar contexts. We uncover their components and the patterns that repeat in many of them, establishing guidelines for future projects and offering lessons on the factors that ensure weaknesses do not hinder the reclamation of mining landscapes but instead promote their revaluation and use for the common good.
