The extraordinary educational and outreach value of these findings led the PaleoIb\u00e9rica Research Group to develop a project for the design and creation of the Paleontological and Archaeological Interpretation Centre of Tamaj\u00f3n (CIPAT, acronym in Spanish). In this new space, students and the general public have access to knowledge of the past of the region through three exhibition and didactic areas and the support of a rigorous and engaging infographic. The Paleontological Area allows visitors to explore, through fossils, replicas, models (real and virtual) and dioramas, the diversity of coastal and marine life that inhabited the region during the Late Cretaceous Age. Moreover, the area highlights crocodylomorphs, dinosaurs and fishes (identified through their fossilized tracks), and the remains of plants and invertebrates. The Archaeological Area shows the origin and uses of the building material known as Tamaj\u00f3n Stone by means of rough or carved samples, tools traditionally used in its extraction and carving, and historical photographs. Furthermore, in the Didactic Area, innovative specific educational activities are carried out, facilitating the knowledge and appreciation of the rich natural and cultural heritage of Tamaj\u00f3n. After its recent inauguration (August 2021), the CIPAT is a valuable tool to encourage the practice of positive attitudes toward geoconservation and to promote the sustainable and socioeconomic development of the region through geotourism.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/land11030444","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,20]],"date-time":"2022-03-20T21:30:14Z","timestamp":1647811814000},"page":"444","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Discovering a Project for the Development of Geotourism in Rural Areas: The Paleontological and Archaeological Interpretation Centre of Tamaj\u00f3n (CIPAT, Guadalajara, Spain)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7938-7230","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fernando","family":"Barroso-Barcenilla","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Geolog\u00eda, Geograf\u00eda y Medio Ambiente (Grupo de Investigaci\u00f3n PaleoIb\u00e9rica), Universidad de Alcal\u00e1, 28805 Alcal\u00e1 de Henares, Spain"},{"name":"Departamento de Geodin\u00e1mica, Estratigraf\u00eda y Paleontolog\u00eda (Grupo de Investigaci\u00f3n Procesos Bi\u00f3ticos Mesozoicos), Universidad Complutense de Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9193-7127","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mar\u00eda del Rosario","family":"Alcalde-Fuentes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Geolog\u00eda y Geoqu\u00edmica, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid, 28049 Madrid, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9990-1965","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Julia","family":"Audije-Gil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Geolog\u00eda, Geograf\u00eda y Medio Ambiente (Grupo de Investigaci\u00f3n PaleoIb\u00e9rica), Universidad de Alcal\u00e1, 28805 Alcal\u00e1 de Henares, Spain"},{"name":"Departamento de Biolog\u00eda, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid, 28049 Madrid, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7215-213X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M\u00e9lani","family":"Berrocal-Casero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Geolog\u00eda, Geograf\u00eda y Medio Ambiente (Grupo de Investigaci\u00f3n PaleoIb\u00e9rica), Universidad de Alcal\u00e1, 28805 Alcal\u00e1 de Henares, Spain"},{"name":"Departamento de Geodin\u00e1mica, Estratigraf\u00eda y Paleontolog\u00eda (Grupo de Investigaci\u00f3n Procesos Bi\u00f3ticos Mesozoicos), Universidad Complutense de Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6493-2208","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pedro Miguel","family":"Callapez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Ci\u00eancias da Terra (Centro de Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o da Terra e do Espa\u00e7o), Universidade de Coimbra, 3030-790 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7668-9156","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Senay","family":"Ozkaya de Juanas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Geolog\u00eda, Geograf\u00eda y Medio Ambiente (Grupo de Investigaci\u00f3n PaleoIb\u00e9rica), Universidad de Alcal\u00e1, 28805 Alcal\u00e1 de Henares, Spain"},{"name":"Departamento de Ci\u00eancias da Terra (Centro de Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o da Terra e do Espa\u00e7o), Universidade de Coimbra, 3030-790 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0762-8867","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan Alberto","family":"P\u00e9rez-Valera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Geodin\u00e1mica, Estratigraf\u00eda y Paleontolog\u00eda (Grupo de Investigaci\u00f3n Procesos Bi\u00f3ticos Mesozoicos), Universidad Complutense de Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Departamento de Ciencias de la Tierra y Medio Ambiente, Universidad de Alicante, 03080 Alicante, Spain"}]},{"given":"Vanda Faria","family":"dos Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Geologia (Instituto Dom Luiz), Universidade de Lisboa, 1749-016 Lisboa, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Manuel","family":"Segura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Geolog\u00eda, Geograf\u00eda y Medio Ambiente (Grupo de Investigaci\u00f3n PaleoIb\u00e9rica), Universidad de Alcal\u00e1, 28805 Alcal\u00e1 de Henares, Spain"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"508","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cretres.2015.04.011","article-title":"A new Cenomanian vertebrate tracksite at Tamaj\u00f3n (Guadalajara, Spain): Palaeoichnology and palaeoenvironmental implications","volume":"57","author":"Segura","year":"2016","journal-title":"Cret.
