- Abstract
The stone terraces of the province of Ávila in Spain constitute a historical and traditional heritage that deserves conservation and promotion in recognition of their function and value. This article represents an initial attempt at evaluating these stone terraces, recording their distribution within municipalities and regions, as well as classifying the different types of terraces with their specific characteristics. This has involved the use of aerial orthophotos, satellite images and field transects. The area of terraced land in the province is over 5000 ha, mainly concentrated in the regions of the Tiétar valley and the Alberche y Pinares valley, wherein six different types of stone terraces have been distinguished.
