The article presents a sample of the thematic cartography that will be integrated into the Observatory of the Cultural Heritage of Galicia platform, a digital application in a website and App format. The proposed thematic cartography provides relevant information about the region’s heritage, demographics, and socioeconomic aspects for visitors undertaking cultural tourism in Galicia. Moreover, it provides a vital didactic resource for the teaching-learning of geography from an active, reflective and critical perspective, at all levels of education from primary education through to university.
