zones falls somewhere between these two cases with the case of Cerdanya–Andorra worth
mentioning: 39% in Pyrenees Orientales department, 19% in Andorra, 19% in Girona
province, 14% in Barcelona province and 8% in Lleida province.
We also observe that the ‘new’ areas are in fact very similar to historical regions, and
hence there is a strong relationship between these territories and the cultural dimension of
space. The strongest examples are found in the areas of Cerdanya–Andorra, Basque Pyrenees
(Basque Country) and Oriental Pyrenees (Northern Catalonia). In all these cases, the
maps depict the ‘natural’ shape of the cross-border historical and cultural regions, which
still share common languages and traditions. Another interesting case is the Vall d’Aran
county, a region of Spanish Catalonia that is geographically embedded on the northern
slopes of the Pyrenees. Our results puts this region in a tourism zone together with other
French departments that share the same Occitan language, thus depicting the actual historical
and cultural region, now divided by modern borders.
Finally, the results strongly support our choice of time as the relevant distance criterion
to identify the tourism zones. For instance, our method locates the municipality of
Vall de Boı in the Aragon Pyrenees tourist area. If geodesic distances had been used it
would have been located within the neighbouring Pallars–Ariege region (to which it
belongs administratively). The presence of the Aig€uestortes National Parks’ mountains
between Vall de Boı and the rest of the Pallars region means that distances are longer in
time, excluding Vall de Boı from this zone.
