description Tourist growth is attributed, each time more habitually, to the cultural offer of the destinations. That idea is in some way true, but is it really the culture, the patrimony and cultural legacy of the towns, what activates the tourist flow towards a destination? The destinations and those that want to become destinations are dressing out and toiling in order to attract more and more visitors. Their success will depend on the success of their attractiveness. In this task, the resource use becomes intensive. Environment, leisure, sports, spaces, events of any nature and, of course, the local culture are useful for such an end. However, except those designed explicitly for the tourist, not all the resources are able to be presented, contemplated and understood in their complexity. They should be adapted for a repetitive, quick, interesting and simple use, ready for a glance, not for reading. This makes possible that for the same place, event or patrimonial device may exists different versions, several arguments according to the target groups and uses. From this point of view, would exist a cultural patrimony that could be activated, promoted and consumed or not, exclusively due to economic interests linked to tourism development
